Lake of the Ozarks is awesome. We switched our family weekend getaway last minute because of a snow storm that was happening in Mount Rushmore so we decided to head to Lake of the Ozarks instead. Didn’t really have any expectations - just knew it was way warmer than where we were going to go and it was pretty. Had a blast with my husband and son! Definitely would recommend the Bridal Caves and Ha Ha Tonka State Park. Great history and fabulous views.
The lake is a great destination for both a couples getaway and family.
