Okoboji  Lake. — This  body  of  water  lies  directly  south  of  Spirit  Lake,  anc
has  somewhat  the  shape  of  a  horse-shoe,  with  its  eastern  projection  within  a  fev
rods  of  Spirit- Lake,  where  it  receives  the  outlet  of  the  latter.  Okoboji  Lak(
extends  about  five  miles  southward  from  Spirit  Lake,  thence  about  the  sam(
distance  westward,  and  then  bends  northward  about  as  far  as  the  eastern  projec
tion.  The  eastern  portion  is  narrow,  but  the  western  is  larger,  and  in  somi
places  a  hundred  feet  deep.  The  surroundings  of  this  and  Spirit  Lake  are  ver^
pleasant.  Fish  are  abundant  in  them,  and  they  are  the  resort  of  myriads  o
water  fowl.
Olear  Lake. — This  lake  is  situated  in  Cerro  Gordo  County,  upon  th(
watershed  between  the  Iowa  and  Cedar  Eivers.  It  is  about  five  miles  long
and  two  or  three  miles  wide,  and  has  a  maximum  depth  of  only  fifteei
feet.     Its  shores  and  the  country  around  it  are  like  that  of  Spirit  Lake.
Storm  Lake. — This  body  of  water  rests  upon  the  great  water  shed  in  Buens
Vista  County.  It  is  a  clear,  beautiful  sheet  of  water,  containing  a  surface  ares
of  between  four  and  five  square  miles.
The  outlets  of  all  these  drift-lakes  are  dry  during  a  portion  of  the  year,  ex-
cept Okoboji.
