Boating on the many lakes in Missouri is a favorite pastime for tens of thousands of Midwesterners. But among them all, the Lake of the Ozarks is known as a boater’s paradise. Whether you are a skier, fisherman, or want to enjoy a meal at one of the lakeside restaurants or marinas, this is the best place for anyone to own a boat.
Most of the people who own a house at this magnificent Missouri Lake have their own dock. And many more have access to one of the many community docks to house their boats. For most LOTO boaters, they feel that having jet ski lifts or boat lifts at Lake of the Ozarks is an important way to protect their watercraft against the often-large waves here.
For tourists, there are hundreds of boat rentals around the Lake at very reasonable prices. You can find many bass boats, small wave runners, racing craft, pontoons, speed boats, and more along the wide channel. People love to take advantage of the coves for a relaxing swim, to enjoy the view, or indulge in the many water activities on the Lake.
