Emmetsburg: No, it's not the deep south... this oak-treed path commences a mere 12-feet north from the corner antique store (at US 18 & Broadway) and leads us to the town's cool and cooling, high-pride spot: glacier-forged, Five Island Lake. Emmetsburg: A generous path allows a broad, flag-lined walk to Emmetsburg's Pizza Ranch, whose sign is nearly eclipsed by the darkening bows of a shade tree. Emmetsburg: Emmetsburg Country Club
