E. Okoboji Lake

Wallpaper Description:

East Okoboji Lake is a natural body of water, approximately 1,835 acres in area, in Dickinson County in northwest Iowa in the United States. It is part of the chain of lakes known as the Iowa Great Lakes. The name derives from its Dakatoh Indian name, Okoboozhy, meaning reeds and rushes.

The towns of Spirit Lake and Okoboji sit along its western shore.

The lake is shallow, with an average depth of 10 ft and a maximum depth of 22 ft. During the summer months, it is prone to stratification and to overgrowth with algae.

Geologically, the lake, like its neighbors, is a glacial pothole, a remnant of the most recent ice age approximately 13,000 years ago.

The lake is a popular fishing destination in the region, especially for the catching of bullheads.
