The beautiful nature around us. Also good for taking pictures. Our whole family went together and it was a very memorable experience. Looking forward to going back sometime. More

You can boat in or take the road in via car, have done both. It's an interesting place, but it can be hot in the summer months. Take water and wear light cloths. More

This place is very interesting for grown ups and kids alike.

The park was a great adventure, moderate to beginner level hiking and lots of great photo opportunities. The park is exceptional for a family adventure, group of friends, or even a couple. Make sure to go visit the castle. Overall great time! More

There are a lot of parks near Lake of the Ozarks and this is one of the most beautiful. The most popular area is a walk along the springs and up a hill (stairs built up the hill). However, there are also very nice nature trails in this park including a semi-rigorous 7 mile trail. More
