Destinations Missouri

By David Sweet, About.com

Situated in the middle of the state amongst Missouri's rolling hills is a 58,000 acre reservoir called Lake of the Ozarks. This popular destination has lots to offer in the way of outdoor recreation. Water sports include boating, fishing, para-sailing, scuba, skiing, and swimming; while land lovers can choose from camping, caving, golf, hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking, and even bungi-jumping.

Plenty of fine food is served up at restaurants in the local communities, including several five-star restaurants; or you can enjoy dinner while cruising Lake of the Ozarks aboard an excursion boat.

Whatever your outdoor pleasure, you'll find there is plenty to do at Lake of the Ozarks. For more detailed information, check out Central Missouri's official Web site:
