If you’re after a day-trip destination, we’ve got some ideas. Situated 17 miles away, Okoboji is worth jumping in the car for. Among your first few stops here should be ‘Boji Splash Indoor Waterpark Okoboji, Emerald Hills Golf Course and East Okoboji Lake. Locals will also likely point you toward Storm Lake, 35 miles away. If you can only find time for one attraction here, make sure it’s Living Heritage Tree Museum. (But we’re also huge fans of Storm Lake Golf Course and Chautauqua Park.)
