Laurens offers a charming slice of Americana as the home of Alvin Straight from *The Straight Story*, featuring a brand-new aquatic center and Sportsman’s Park for disc golf and trails. You can immerse yourself in the relaxed pace of this welcoming community while exploring local history at the Pocahontas County Museum.
For a change of pace, you are just a short drive from the lakeside fun of Storm Lake (33 miles) or the shopping and dining hubs of Spencer (25 miles) and Fort Dodge (58 miles).
