The Natural Swimming Hole At Awaysis Park In Iowa Will Take You Back To The Good Ole Days

The vast majority of Iowa's lakes are man-made, crafted by damming up our rivers and re-directing water to reservoirs and ponds where people swim, boat, and fish when the weather is nice. However, if you love natural lakes, you don't have to settle for man-made lakes all the time! Up in the Iowa Great Lakes region, dozens of glacial lakes showcase the beauty of the Hawkeye State's natural bodies of water. Big Spirit Lake is the largest of these Iowa Great Lakes, and you can track down the best beach on Spirit Lake at the beautiful and welcoming Awaysis Park.

Awaysis Park is just west of King's Pointe Resort, and many people consider this swimming hole to be the best beach on Storm Lake.

You'll find a big stretch of clean sand along the shores of this beautiful landmark lake here in the Hawkeye State.

There's no better way to cool off on a hot summer day than to swim in the refreshing waters of Storm Lake. Spend some time in the town, too, and you'll feel welcomed!

Walk out on the jetty for a beautiful view of the park, beach, and lake all in one.

Kids will love the sprawling playground, with a ropes course, swings, and plenty of space to run around.

If you're visiting with older kids or friends and family, you'll want to make time to visit the gorgeous Kolb Gardens on-site, too.

Plan to end your wonderful summer day at the beach on Storm Lake by watching the sunset. Awaysis Park will surely leave a lasting impression.
