Visit Lake of the Ozarks
~ endless outdoor recreation, relaxation and fun!
Lake of the Ozarks offers some of the Midwest's finest recreational and sight-seeing opportunities, whether looking for water or land-based activities. Each year nearly 3 million people enjoy the lake and its many entertainment offerings.
Lake of the Ozarks is known for fun, fun, fun - just ask the folks who have chosen to build second homes around the 1,150 mile shoreline, more than the coastline of the entire state of California. These activities include two scenic State Parks, boats, boating, camping, parasailing, water-skiing, spelunking, water parks, excursion cruises, scuba-diving, bungi-jumping, tubing, swimming, horseback riding, mountain biking, golf, miniature golf, country/western musical events, fishing, crafts, and go-carts.
In addition to the above recreational activities, the Lake has over 150 restaurants, most of which are family owned and operated and several that are five-star rated. You can find any number of fine dining experiences with the best chefs around or find a nice casual family dining place for that family gathering at reasonable prices. The lake is also host to some of the most unique eating opportunities where you can dine in restaurants that float on the lake.
Maybe you'd like to explore one of Missouri's 5,000 caves. Bridal Cave is accessible by houseboat and features a unique stalactite adorned Bridal Chapel where over 1850 couples have tied the knot.

Whether you are a serious pro looking for some outstanding bass fishing or a part-time angler looking for a lazy day of relaxation and family fun, Lake of the Ozarks has the ingredients for your fishing vacation. Both will be challenged to fish the largemouth bass, crappie, white bass, stripers, rainbow trout, walleye and catfish, all year-round.
Knowledgeable fishermen use deep-diving crankbaits and jig-n-frog lures when fishing the cool spring waters. Summer anglers find their bass around deep points, drop offs and boat docks. And, just when you think the action's going to end, the cool weather of October and November brings the bass back in the shallows for some more fast fishing action.
Experience the Ozarks like never before on a houseboat on Lake of the Ozarks. The perfect family vacation, Lake of the Ozarks provides a great location to either kick back for a soothing week on the water, or a quick weekend retreat.
A luxury houseboat rental from Forever Resorts' Lake of the Ozarks Marina provides your home away from home in which to enjoy all of the fun that the area has to offer. Play a round of golf, a game of tennis, or pull your houseboat up to the dock at famed Bridal Cave and take a tour. There's so much to do, you'll have to return to the lake again and again to take it all in.
