With some great road trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to soak up everything that Storm Lake, 30 miles away, has to offer. See the sights starting with Living Heritage Tree Museum, Storm Lake Golf Course and Chautauqua Park. The locals will also probably point you toward Sioux City, 45 miles away. If you can only find time for one thing here, let it be Orpheum Theatre. (But we’re also big fans of Sioux City Art Center and The Sioux City Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center.)
