Yet despite being anchored alongside one of the world’s few crystal clear lakes, tourists find fun on both land and in water. When smelling the sweet, steamy, fried aromas of funnel cakes wafting from little shacks along the boardwalk, you know you’re at Arnold’s Park. One of the most popular attractions, this lake-side park has been completely renovated and prides itself in featuring one of the world’s only wooden rol ler coa ster s. Children can enjoy the rides while adults take leisurely strolls along the beach or hit a variety of local shops, such as the Emporium. Just across the street, you can get a caffeine boost at Arnold’s Perk or choose to enjoy a fine glass of vino at The Wine Bar and Art Gallery-both perfect ways to begin and end a day at Okoboji.
