Stay Safe

Lake of the Ozarks is the third most accident-prone body of water in the United States, after the Atlantic Ocean and the Colorado River. In the past, this was mainly because of drinks-related boating accidents in and around Party Cove. However, Party Cove is no longer the busy cove it used to be. The no wake buoys have been removed. Find out what happened to Party Cove /destination/lake-of-the-ozarks-missouri/what-happened-to-party-cove here]. If you wish to boat at Lake of the Ozarks, make sure you have a designated driver for your boat.

Carrying insect repellent during the summer months is a wise idea. Mosquito and other chiggers in the grass and brush can turn a fun trip into an unpleasant one. Also don't forget to use sunscreen when on the water. There isn't much shade out there and during the summer you can get a bad sunburn very quickly.
