You might best know the Lake of the Ozarks as the muse of Netflix’s original show “Ozark.” Strip away the drama, the cameras, and all that... er other stuff, and you have the premier boating community and tourist hotspot.
Food: Step back in time when you visit Stewart’s Restaurant. Located on the Historic Bagnell Dam Strip since 1953, Stewart’s proudly serves the biggest cinnamon roll at the lake (really, it fills the entire plate).
Outdoors: History buffs and hikers unite. Ha Ha Tonka State Park features miles of trails, caves, bluffs, a natural bridge, and Missouri’s 12th largest spring.
