When the weather gets warm, I know my thoughts travel towards relaxing on the beach. But what about those of us in the landlocked states? Are the only options to head to the pool, or book a much longer trip? Nope! Not in Iowa. The Hawkeye State has some amazing beaches of its own, thanks to its extensive network of lakes. One of the best lakes in the area is definitely Big Spirit Lake, and it lives up to its name. This lake is so big that visiting it from different areas will give you a completely different experience. It’s home to a spectacular hidden beach in Iowa that might be one of the state’s best-kept secrets. With stunning views, great recreation options, and lots of fun for the kids, it’s the perfect way to kick off a memorable summer.
