Waters Edge is one of the premier complexes at Lake of the Ozarks. The buildings and grounds are well maintained. We love the large pool, mature shade trees and being so close to nature. Close to everything including restaurants, outlet mall and local wineries. Oh YES the views are simply marvelous!

The Lake of the Ozarks is, without a doubt, one of the top tourist attractions in the Midwest. It all started in the summer of 1929, when the construction of the dam began. Thousands of men came from all over the country to dig by hand through dirt, rock, and demolishing 30,000 acres of timber. They hauled all the excavated
material out with mules and wagons. Tons of iron and steel created the largest man-made lake in the Country with water from the Osage, Niangua, Grand Glaze, and Gravois rivers. In 1932, a few short years after construction was completed, the lake was full!
In 1934, a published guild was created for “vacationist” which included information about lake development, a full map of the lake, and only 57 resorts. While Lake of the Ozarks was booming, they still had one problem: the rest of the country
was trying to recover from the hardships that the Great Depression had left. It was not until the popular classic boat maker, Chris-Craft, figured out a way to mass produce the boats, which had historically been handcrafted, that the lake finally
saw the “boom” it was waiting for. Chris-Craft marketed these new assembly-line production boats to middle class income families and gave everyone an opportunity for “the good life.”
Buyers could purchase a 15ft sleek pleasure boat for only $4,000 (1935) and obtain speeds up to 25 miles per hour! This brought an entirely new world to the boating industry as working men could finally afford a recreational boat that could pull people across the water and gave new life to a young sport!
One thing remains the same - family and friends are still making memories.
