We need your help! We need your answers to some of the questions we get at the resort. We also have a few of our own that need to be answered.

1. Where is your favorite place to visit other than Fillenwarth while you are in Okoboji?
2. Where is your favorite place to watch/listen to live music?
3. What is your favorite "oddity" in Okoboji that you like to see? (i.e. goat island)
4. Where is your favorite place to eat in Okoboji?
5. What is your favorite boat ride while at Fillenwarth Beach?
6. What do you look forward to the most when coming to Fillenwarth Beach?

We look forward to seeing everyone's answers. Also, a reminder for the rest of the season, we do have availability through Sept 19th if you are looking for a quite get away.

Lap swimming in West Lake clear waters? Yes, please!

Floating with a drink in your hand? Even better.

Our lakeside property allows our guests to access the water via sunning docks with ladders strategically placed for easy entry. Is there really anything better than a lake bath?

Looking to catch a big one? Don’t forget your fishing pole on your next trip! Our angler guests recommend fishing near our boat hoists as the fish LOVE to live there. Make a memory by having your son, daughter, grandchild, or great grandchild catch their first fish right off our docks.

Also, during our full season, be sure to catch our Kids’ Fishing Clinic on Tuesday mornings. We have a fishing pro come in to teach the basics and then put your skills to the test. It is one of our favorite activities of the week! Only offered during full season. The Iowa Guide service

Take a peek at our Indoor and Outdoor heated swimming pools! While you may have a larger, blue body of water in mind to swim in (the lake), these are perfect for little kiddos or someone who is looking to catch some rays on a windy day. Camp out on one of our lounge chairs and take in a little rest and relaxation.

Outdoor pool open Memorial Day to Labor Day.

Making memories and creating legacies is what Fillenwarth Beach is all about! One of the best things you can leave on this earth is a legacy filled with memories, stories and experiences. Bringing your family to Fillenwarth Beach again and again, creates an experience that can be repeated for generations. Here is a testimonial from Heather. She started off staying just one week, now she is up to 3 weeks, and upon check out was talking about just moving it to a month

"Okoboji, Fillenwarth Beach, Family & Friends=Lifetime Memories. Fillenwarth Beach has become family to us. From the ladies and men in the office to the young adults that make up the summer staff. Everyone is engaging and very helpful. There are so many incredible activities (crafts, family cruises, various tastings (w**e, b**r, chocolate, ch*****ne)) to take advantage of or you can simply relax and enjoy the blue water of West Lake Okoboji. The best part of my summer is July in Boji. We get to catch up with our “Filly Family & friends”. Our kids grew up coming to Fillenwarth and never wanted to go anyplace else. We have so many memories shared with family and lifetime friends made at the lake. Our visit has gone from 1 week to 2 ½ weeks to 3 weeks this year. My countdown to our next annual July visit starts the minute we say good-bye. I am confident that once you experience it you too will be a return guest. There is nothing like it!"

Picture this…blue water, sunny sky, large white boat, friendly people, drink in hand (or maybe cheese & crackers?), no worries on your mind. Guess what?! This could be you!

Our Sun Runners are at the top of our list of ‘Fillenwarth Must-Dos’. When you stay with us, you are welcome to join us once daily on our 49 foot Sun Runner cruise boats. These are leisure cruises that slowly cruise West Lake Okoboji and serve a complimentary beverage or two (alcoholic for 21+), soda, cheese, crackers and peanuts. It is the perfect way to get out onto the beautiful blue water! These are complimentary for resort guests, once per day.

*Not offered for non-resort guests and not available for private rentals.
