You might best know the Lake of the Ozarks as the muse of Netflix’s original show “Ozark.” Strip away the drama, the cameras, and all that... er other stuff, and you have the premier boating community and tourist hotspot.
  • Why go? Take the guesswork out of your family getaway. Just pack the suits and hit the water for cost-effective fun — wakesurfing by morning, coving out in the afternoon, and dinner on the water by night.
  • Act like a local: Step back in time when you visit Stewart’s Restaurant. Located on the Historic Bagnell Dam Strip since 1953, Stewart’s proudly serves the biggest cinnamon roll at the lake (really, it fills the entire plate).
  • Where to stay: Vrbo: A cozy lake pad, newly-renovated + pool on the water (~$212/night)
