Visitors arriving in Emmetsburg for the first time should begin by taking a scenic drive around Five Island Lake in their Emmetsburg motorhome rental and stopping at Five Island Lake City Park for a picnic or possibly taking a swim. There are a few golf courses for those who need to hit a fairway, and those who need to get out of the sun for a stretch can head to the city's casino resort. Emmetsburg is not a big city geographically and as such, is the perfect opportunity to take a walking tour and appreciate the landscape and local architecture, do some window shopping, and even take a break at a local cafe.

There is a good variety of cuisines available among the local restaurant offerings; some venues are commercial chains that will satisfy the kids, others locally owned and operated serving up fare the adults will enjoy. One local Chinese restaurant is open for lunch and has nice but not fancy decor, creating a relaxing and casual atmosphere. Guests eating here should try the cashew chicken and crab rangoon. Another local restaurant serves pub-style food in a comfortable setting; the menu is mostly American style food (your favorite comfort food dishes), and the service is friendly. The restaurant is open for dinner; guests eating here should opt for the steak dinner. Those who don't want to dine in can ask for takeout and head back to their Emmetsburg luxury RV rental and enjoy their meal with a distant sunset or under a star-filled sky. This is vacation living at its best.
