Review:
Beachside lake adventures can be found in Iowa when the weather is right, and one of the best places to enjoy the sunshine and waves is in Okoboji, located on the Iowa Great Lakes. When it comes to waterside entertainment, Arnolds Park is the go-to destination, often renowned as the Okoboji version of Coney Island. There are plenty of quirky and fun restaurants located on the water to serve guests any fashion of food or alcohol they could crave, and there are even dinner boating tours than can be enjoyed on the open water. When the weather turns cold, Okoboji hosts its own version of the Winter Olympics and spectators are always welcome.
