About this swimming hole
Pikes Point juts into West Lake Okoboji on a small point near Spirit Lake, and its beach is counted among the Iowa Great Lakes' most popular swim spots. A swim platform floats in the roped swimming area for sunbathing and deep-water play in the lakes' famously clear blue water. Come for an afternoon dip and stay for the point's wide-open sunset views.
