Rent A Boat At Lake Of The Ozarks

You will find Lake of the Ozarks In the heart of Missouri, just 2 ½ hours south of Kansas City or St. Louis. To get there, drive a vehicle that climbs well up U.S. 54 to the Osage, Missouri area. [Keep a cautious eye out for those few hardy bicyclists.] If you want to check out the scenery in advance, view the online photos at http://odd.net/ozarks/lakecam/history/. Whether you want to rent a fishing boat, deck cruiser, or houseboat, you can find it there. For a comprehensive list of boats and other water-related gear, go online to htt://www.funlake.com/marine/index.php?cat=pwc. You can surely find what you are looking for among the 26 listings there. For a lifetime of memories, experience Lake of the Ozarks in the comfort of a houseboat. At Lake of the Ozarks Marina, you can rent a houseboat and a tag-a-long deck cruiser and/or fishing boat for exploring every nook and cranny. If you choose to not cook on board the houseboat, there are several restaurants around the lake that welcome houseboats. Should you desire land beneath your feet, you increase your selection of restaurants to nearly 100. Another houseboat-friendly attraction is Bridal cave. Yes, it is accessible by houseboat. Bridal Cave features a truly unique, and well-used, stalactite-adorned bridal chapel. In addition to boating, you can enjoy golf, tennis, spas, music festivals, historic sites, museums, antiquing, and shopping. Getting back to the water, you can enjoy waterskiing, wakeboarding, tubing, parasailing, swimming, and fishing. There is so much to do or not do–as you please. On the passive side of vacationing, you may want to fish for largemouth bass, crappie, white bass, stripers, rainbow trout, walleye, or catfish. Don’t worry that you’ll be there at the wrong time for fishing–the fish are

biting year round. You’ll want to use deep-diving crankbaits and jig-n-frog lures in the cool spring waters. In the summer, angle for bass around deep points, drop offs, and boat docks. October and November weather lures bass back into the shallow waters, where fall anglers can get in some fast fishing action. A few tips for this trip: Gas up before you leave the well-developed areas, so you don’t run out of gas. Apply a heavy-duty insect repellent as often as necessary. DO NOT go out unprotected. When you go back indoors, examine yourself and others for ticks, paying special attention to the hair. Wear Suncreen. Enjoy doing (or not doing) all that the Lake of the Ozarks has to offer.
