We could probably spend an entire lifetime exploring Missouri, especially its state parks. But, since we don’t have unlimited time, we’ve got to prioritize where we want to go and what we want to do. With its secluded, lush land and full menu of activities, Lake of the Ozarks State Park in Missouri definitely deserves a spot on your to do list.
Start planning an unforgettable adventure at Lake of the Ozarks State Park, the largest state park in Missouri, that provides an idyllic setting for both day and camping trips.
Of course, one of the best ways to explore the 17,626-acre state park is to head out on one of the hiking trails. Lake of the Ozarks offers 56 miles of trails.
Or the Ozark Caverns. Embark on either a traditional or a children's tour of the caverns. The one-hour traditional tour spans a mile. (Admission fees apply.)
Since you have so much to explore, you might want to stay overnight. Check into one of the eight cozy cabins that feature such amenities as electricity, air conditioning, a refrigerator, and a microwave.
Or, for a truly unique camping experience, reserve one of the spacious yurts. Be sure to pack your own sheets and sleeping bags for your overnight. The yurts have electricity but do not have running water.
