The Lake of the Ozarks is Missouri’s top attendance-generating destination for meetings and events due to its central location, flexibility, value, and abundance of recreational activities. Covering 54,000 acres and running 92 miles end-to end, the Lake of the Ozarks is a premier vacation and event destination in Mid-America.
