Plan the Perfect Weekend at the Lake
A weekend at Lake of the Ozarks can be whatever you want it to be — relaxing by the water, exploring local attractions, shopping, dining lakeside or packing every hour with something new. Here’s an easy way to build a Lake weekend you’ll want to come back to again and again.
FRIDAY EVENING
Start With Dinner at the Lake
Kick off your weekend with a great meal. From waterfront restaurants and casual lakefront favorites to local spots worth discovering, there’s no shortage of places to start your getaway.

Catch Live Music or a Lake Event
After dinner, see what’s happening around the Lake. Concerts, festivals, seasonal events and live entertainment make it easy to keep the night going.
SATURDAY MORNING
Get Out and Explore
Start your day with one of the Lake area’s attractions. Tour a cave, visit a historic site, take in a scenic overlook or find something fun for the whole family.
SATURDAY AFTERNOON
Spend Some Time on the Water
It wouldn’t be a Lake weekend without enjoying the water. Whether you’re boating, swimming, parasailing or simply relaxing by the shoreline, make some room in your itinerary for Lake time.

Or Do a Little Lake Shopping
Prefer staying on land? Browse boutiques, specialty shops, souvenirs and locally owned businesses around the Lake.
SATURDAY NIGHT
Dinner, Drinks & Entertainment
Wind down after a full day with waterfront dining, cocktails, live music or one of the Lake’s evening events.
SUNDAY
Slow Down and Enjoy the Lake
Make the last day count. Grab breakfast or brunch, visit somewhere you missed on Saturday, take a scenic drive or spend a little more time by the water before heading home.
