Relax or enjoy a game of cornhole or kayaking. Take in the tranquil sounds of fish splashing as they jump and land in the calm lake, the sweet chirping of the birds, and the rustling of the leaves as the breeze blows. Admire the view of greenspace, pelicans, hawks, a distant train, and gentle waves of the lake. Take a meal on the front porch with your family as you create memories while appreciating the ambient sounds and peaceful yet fun lake life in Iowa's own Island City of Sabula. Other things to note We suggest you bring water shoes in case you go in the lake. You can rent kayaks from Island city Harbor, which is walking distance from Layla’s at the lake. Like all lakes, our lake lake has foreign objects in it like glass metal rocks, so please be careful..
