When you land
Things to do in Lake of the Ozarks
Lake of the Ozarks was created when Bagnell Dam closed off the Osage River in 1931, and its winding, serpentine shape gives it well over a thousand miles of shoreline in the hills of central Missouri. Towns such as Osage Beach, Lake Ozark, Camdenton and Sunrise Beach have grown up around it, and the lake has become the Midwest’s classic second-home destination, with waterfront houses, marinas, resorts and golf courses. Real estate, construction, boating and hospitality drive the local economy, and many owners split their time between the lake and Kansas City or St. Louis.

Missouri’s largest state park offers swimming beaches, boat launches, horseback riding, hiking and tours of Ozark Caverns on its quiet stretch of shoreline.
