What makes West Okoboji different?

The short answer: depth. At 138.9 feet, West Okoboji is roughly six times deeper than every other lake in the chain: Iowa’s deepest natural lake, and one of only 33 waters on the DNR’s Outstanding Iowa Waters list.

That is why frontage here is priced on the water it fronts: two homes a few hundred feet apart can sit well apart on price. And West Okoboji Lake, West Okoboji and Okoboji are three different places. An address alone will not tell you which lake a home fronts, so we verify it on every listing. See the Okoboji guide or our lakefront checks.
