Lake of the Ozarks has been a choice vacation area since the opening of the lake on May 30, 1931. If you have never been here, you just have to try it! And, of course, for you that have been here before, we understand the curiousity that inspires us to return again and again. No one can match our recreation, scenery, and services. There are dense untraveled forests, rolling farmlands, dark gray cedar lined bluffs, and wildlife that surround the nearly 1200 miles of shoreline.
