Lake of the Ozarks is a 54,000 acre lake, impounding over 60 billion gallons of water located in the middle of Missouri.  The 1,150 miles of shoreline is comprised of a 92 mile long main channel, four major river-fed arms ranging from 7-16 miles and literally hundreds of coves.  The Lake of the Ozarks shoreline also includes two Missouri State Parks.  Lake of the Ozarks is one of the very largest privately developed lakes in the U.S.  As such, virtually all of the shoreline is open to private development, with the exception of State Park Shoreline.  This shoreline private development includes over 20 marinas, over 40 restaurants on the water, condominiums, hotels, resorts and thousands of lakefront & lake view homes, villas and condominiums (both year around & vacation).   The Lake has become a premier destination in the Midwest for boating, golfing, fishing and water sports.

The Lake is located in mid-Missouri approx. 165 miles from both St. Louis & Kansas City.  In fact, the Lake is located within 500 miles of at least a dozen other major Midwest cities, including Birmingham, Chicago, Des Moines, Indianapolis, Little Rock, Louisville, Memphis, Nashville, Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Wichita and Omaha. In addition, The Lake of the Ozarks is located just 50 miles from Jefferson City (Missouri’s Capitol City), approx. 70 miles from Columbia (University of Missouri) and 125 miles from Branson, MO.

There are 15 golf courses in the Lake area, as well as over 90 churches, over 100 marinas or marine related services, five airports and the largest brand name factory outlet mall in the state of Missouri.  In addition, within the past 5 years, at least a dozen national retail and restaurant chains have placed locations in Osage Beach (the Lake’s largest town on the water).  Osage Beach is also home to a 140 bed Lake Regional Health System.

Normal temperatures range from average daytime highs of 91.8 degrees in July to 43.7 degrees in January.  This typically allows year around golf and fishing, as well as a very long boating season.

Very low property taxes, relatively low energy prices and general cost of living, make Lake of the Ozarks a very hospitable place to live and do business.
