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.

The drive from either metro takes about three hours, much of it on two-lane highways that crawl on summer Fridays. Lee C. Fine Memorial Airport, next to Lake of the Ozarks State Park, has a long runway a short drive from Osage Beach, and Grand Glaize-Osage Beach Airport sits right in town. Flying private turns the lake house into a realistic weekend place rather than a once-a-month trip. Once there, life revolves around boats, waterfront restaurants with their own docks, coves, caves and golf.

When to go. Summer is peak season at Lake of the Ozarks, running from Memorial Day through Labor Day, when coves fill with boats and waterfront restaurants operate at full speed.
