Give yourself a break and get on the lake
Lake Ozark's key attraction is the lake, of course, and favorite activities for both visitors and locals revolve around the water. Rent a jet ski or a kayak. Take your boat out. Try parasailing or paragliding. If the lake ever tires you out, you are welcome at Lake of the Ozarks State Park, a leafy-green wonderland with 12 trails available for hikers, bikers, and horseback riders, plus picnic areas and campsites. Oh yeah, and the lake is here, too, so all those watersports still work.
Weather that doesn't need to go to extremes
Lake Ozark's humid continental climate is always influenced by, you guessed it, the lake. Summers are hot and humid, perfect for fun in the sun and on the water. Just keep a lookout for thunderstorms. Winters are cold, with lows in the teens and 20s, but the lake effect takes the edge off the chill. Spring, summer, and fall are the best times to take advantage of all your Lake Ozark vacation rental has to offer, but you can save some green and have a more tranquil trip to the beach if you book in winter.
Don't bat this little guy out of the sky
Your Lake Ozark vacation rental will be comfy and serene, and the lake is often placid. Still, the wilderness around you is full to bursting with wildlife. 58 species of mammals call the riverways around the Lake of the Ozarks home, including deer, bear, otters, mink, and muskrats. The many caves in Lake of the Ozarks State Park make perfect homes for bat species, and the area has one of the last big populations of the endangered grey bat. If you see one of these furry friends, let him be.
