Clear Lake is a small town in northern Iowa between Des Moines and Minneapolis. You can move around using public transport or hire a taxi or rideshare to aid your movement from one attraction site to the next. It is even better to use guided tours to explore state parks and magnificent landmarks such as Surf Ballroom before stopping by the lake to catch the breeze. If all else fails, you can always rely on Kayak or Rentalcars.com to find yourself some wheels.
