AAA Midwest Traveler July / August 2010
Best summer family destination: Lake of the Ozarks
It was a close race between the lake and St. Louis, but in the end, 1,150 miles of shoreline won. More than 75 years ago, the lake was created when Bagnell Dam impounded the Osage River. Today, the
lake is one of the Midwest's most popular summer playgrounds due, in part, to its central location-less than 200 miles from St. Louis, Kansas City or Springfield, and a day's drive from anywhere in
the Midwest.
Boating, swimming and fishing are popular here, and there's something for every member of the family, no matter their ages. Family amusements-mini golf, water parks, go-carts, and arcades are here.
Dad can get a round of golf in with grandpa one day while mom and grandma go shopping at Osage Beach Outlets and have high tea in the afternoon.
There's a staggering amount of overnight rooms in the form of resorts, hotels, motels, cabins, bed and breakfasts and condos. Restaurants range from gourmet to fast food. Many have views of the water
or are on lakefront property. Lake of the Ozarks in central Missouri is a place to build vacation memories, which is why many people in the Midwest make it a summer ritual for their families.
