The Iowa Great Lakes region has several well-known and popular lakes, but it is West Lake Okoboji that brings water enthusiasts to this area.
Like the other lakes in the chain, it is a glacial lake. But instead of being a shallow glacial lake, its maximum depth of 136 feet, and extraordinary water clarity makes it a dichotomy of sorts.

The story of Larry Leonard, central Minnesota’s “purple martin man”
“It all began in the early 1970s,” Larry Leonard said. “I built a purple martin house and put it up. Before I had the last nut tightened on the pole, martins were checking out the house.”
According to Leonard, back then, martins were plentiful in his south Brainerd neighborhood. Time passed, and eventually his martin house fell into disrepair. His martin colony had decreased to one pair.
“Then I discovered the Purple Martin Conservation Association,” Leonard said. “I built appropriate housing and became an active landlord.” His passion for martins became an exciting hobby.
