Many of our families frequently ask for Lake Area events or information so they may make plans for local visits with their child and family. The Lake of the Ozarks is the Midwest's premier lake resort destination, and is located in the heart of Missouri. The lake area offers world-class boating, golfing, shopping and fishing, and a wide variety of lodging, restaurants, state parks, and other recreational activities to suit any budget and taste.
