A love of the water just comes naturally for Missourians. If we’re not wading in the water, we’re on the water. Then if we’re not on the water, we’re admiring it from the shore. One of the best ways to appreciate the water is to get out on it. Explore the Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri, for example, by renting a pontoon boat. Bring your swimming gear, too!
Adventurers know that the Lake of the Ozarks is a prime body of water for exploration, especially by boat.
Next time you've got a couple of free days and the sun's shining down, rent one of the luxurious pontoon boats from Rad Dad Boat Rental in Osage Beach.
You won't want to stay on board the whole time, though. Dive into the water (if your boat has a diving board); jump in from the side, or ride behind on a tube.
The Lake of the Ozarks is the perfect place to stay cool on those hot Missouri days. However, you'll have to meet a few requirements before renting a boat.
Rad Dad insists, above all, that you be rad. That's an easy check, right? Then, to operate the pontoon boat, you must be at least 25, have a driver's license and a Missouri Boaters Certificate (if born after January 1, 1984).
What is your favorite way to explore the Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri? Have you gone out on a pontoon boat? Let us know in the comments! If you prefer staying on the ground, you can’t go wrong with a visit to this one-of-a-kind nature reserve in Missouri.
