Nicknamed "the Dragon" for its shape, the Lake of the Ozarks main channel spans 92 miles and four counties, boasting more than 1,100 miles of shoreline. Each year, thousands of people travel to the lake to fish, swim, and relax, but the lake offers so much more. 100 Things to Do in Lake of the Ozarks Before You Die examines this 91-year-old man-made recreation destination and the activities, attractions, and amenities that developed around it. Of course you'll want to explore plenty of outdoor activities at Lake of the Ozarks State Park, Lake Waters at Dog Days Restaurant & Water Bar, and wakeboard lessons at Kirby's School of Wake. Take advantage of seemingly endless year-round opportunities for all ages, from championship golf courses like Osage National Golf Course, ropes courses at the Malted Monkey, and romantic sunset dinners at Baxter's Lakeside Grill. From luxury accommodations and award-winning restaurants to recreation, entertainment, and education, the lake area is a destination to be experienced and savored. An Osage Beach devotee herself, author Valerie Battle Kienzle offers this carefully selected collection of places to see, things to do, and unique opportunities. So, stick your toes in the sand, savor sunset at a lakeside restaurant, or hike your way to spectacular vistas, all at the Lake of the Ozarks.
