Explore the Outdoors

Lake of the Ozarks is a haven for nature lovers and adventure sports enthusiasts. Scenic, oak-lined hiking trails, thrilling go-karting courses and turquoise waters are only some of the options in store. Lakefront restaurants, chic wineries, and eating joints like Shady Gators are perfect stops for hungry bellies.  

Visit charming small towns like Osage Beach and Lake Ozark, both wildly popular summer vacation spots. Explore 15 miles of hiking trails and the fascinating ruins of an early 20th-century stone castle at Camdenton. Go camping in Ha Ha Tonka State Park, which features sinkholes, caves, and a mammoth natural bridge.  

Adrenaline junkies can choose from a range of activities in the Ozarks. Spend days kayaking, canoeing, horseback riding, hunting, skeet shooting, rock climbing, and spelunking. Lake Taneycomo is ideal for trout fishing, while Table Rock Lake offers activities like water skiing and bass fishing.
