Alhonna Resort is the ideal destination for anyone looking to explore the beauty and adventure that make Lake of the Ozarks such a popular vacation spot. Staying at our waterfront resort means you’re close to it all, including memorable attractions. One such attraction is Lake of the Ozarks State Park. There’s no shortage of things to do when exploring this Missouri state park. To help you make the most of your visit, we’ve put together a guide to activities and attractions to check out.
Things to Do at the Missouri State Park
It takes less than 30 minutes to reach Lake of the Ozarks State Park, making it an easy addition to your itinerary. This stunning attraction offers visitors the chance to enjoy an array of recreational activities on water or dry land.
Go Hiking
There are over 12 hiking trails to explore inside the park, ranging from easy strolls to rugged hikes. The Rocky Top Trail offers stunning views of the lake and surrounding bluffs. Trail of Four Winds is a more challenging trail, but it is often less crowded. Other paths to explore include Aquatic Trail, Fawns Ridge Trail, and Woodland Trail.
Explore Its Natural Features
While the park is home to endless natural beauty, there are some natural features that are extra special. This includes the Patterson Hollow Wild Area, a 1,275-acre area that’s home to native chert woodlands. Take a guided tour through the Ozark Caverns to see the famous Angel Showers, a cave formation where water continuously drips from the ceiling.
Spend Time Out on the Water
Lake of the Ozarks is where you can find one of the state’s largest lakes, which means there’s plenty of aquatic fun to enjoy. If you’re visiting in the summer, cool off by going for a swim at one of the park’s two swimming beaches. Bring your own boat or rent one at local marinas and enjoy a day cruising around or fishing. You can also explore coves and calmer waters on kayaks or canoes.
