When planning a vacation in the U.S., Iowa may not stand out as one of the top states to visit. However, if you’re into water sports, small-town charm, and local amusement parks, Iowa has it all. Specifically, you can find everything within a stone’s throw of the lake town of Okoboji. The name translates from the Dacotah Indians, roughly meaning “place of rest.” However, with so much to do, you probably won’t be resting for too long.
