A town full of lighthouses in Iowa? Even though we are landlocked, we still have this one town that’s happily obsessed with lighthouses. Several lighthouses in Storm Lake are fully operational and used for navigation. They are also listed in the ARLHS World List of Lights.
It's home to such attractions as Kings Pointe Waterpark, Away Sis Park, and several beautiful lighthouses. The town of Storm Lake is so enamored with lighthouses that they made one part of their sign.
