<span color="#285685" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3">The area is beautiful in any season, but in the fall it really shines. The landscape around the Lake of the Ozarks features many rolling hills, scenic overlooks and expansive views of the water, all offering wonderful glimpses of the thick hardwood forests that abound in the region and turn vivid shades of orange, red and yellow each fall.</span></div>

"Those of us that live at the Lake of the Ozarks enjoy the beauty of the seasons on a daily basis, but for visitors, fall can be a very special experience," says Jim Divincen, administrator for Central Missouri's Lake of the Ozarks Tri-County Lodging Association. "Regardless of wherever you are at the Lake, you'll have lots of colorful surprises. Mother Nature puts on quite the show and many vacationers visit every October to enjoy it."</div>

According to the Missouri Department of Conservation, the peak season varies from year to year depending on the weather and can last until early November. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
"I think there's going to be outstanding fall color this year," says Ann Koenig, a forester with Missouri Department of Conservation. "It's been a relatively mild year with not too many hot days and we've had steady rain throughout the state. It's been a good growing season for trees and that will lead to a lot of bright color."</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The area's two state parks feature numerous walking and hiking trails that traverse hardwood forests, glades, meadows and offer wonderful views of the Lake of the Ozarks. Lake of the Ozarks State Park, Missouri's largest and most visited state park, boasts 14 different trails while Ha Ha Tonka State Park, recently named the most beautiful place in Missouri by Conde Nast Traveler, has 12 unique trails. Both parks offer a variety of trails that range in ease and difficulty, from paved walking trails to rugged cross-country treks.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
Divincen, who is both an avid hiker and angler, says two of his favorite ways to enjoy the fall colors is getting out on the trails at Ha Ha Tonka and spending time on the water. "I really like the Turkey Pen Hollow hiking trail at Ha Ha Tonka," Divincen says. "There are some spectacular views and it's a beautiful experience. That, and catching a big bass out on the lake with the colorful shoreline as a backdrop is a memorable experience, especially with family and friends," Divincen adds.</div>

<div>
<div>
For on-the-water fun, visitors can rent a boat from a local marina or hop aboard a scenic narrated cruise on one of the Lake's three different 150-plus-passenger luxury yachts. There also are professional fishing guides that help ensure vacationers find fishing success while also enjoying the pretty foliage around the Lake of the Ozarks, whether it's out in the middle of the Lake or in a secluded and quiet cove.</div>

"At the Shootout you'll see every type of boat imaginable and it's a thrilling and exciting event. You have some of the fastest boats in the world captained by some of the nicest people you'll ever meet. The racers are so generous with their time and they love taking photos with the spectators and talking about and showing off their boats. It's a lot of fun for everyone. I don't think there's anything like the Shootout in the entire country."</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14.6667px;">Those that can't make it to the Lake of the Ozarks to watch the races in person have several opportunities to keep up with the action. New for 2019, the Shootout races will be broadcast with unparalleled high-definition quality across multiple stations throughout Missouri and online as well. According to Denny Benne, owner of Benne Media Group, the expanded coverage and quality of the production will help raise the profile of the Shootout and the Lake of the Ozarks across the state. "We have a great production team assembled that has worked with CBS, NBC, ESPN and Fox. We're very excited to be able to take the broadcast to a new level," says Benne. "Since this is a charity event, we want to reach more viewers and listeners than ever before. And, our goal is to give viewers an incredible product to enjoy."

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span id="m_3219414943395091085gmail-docs-internal-guid-95688550-7fff-5966-2df3-2983e92f5686">

One of the many reasons the Lake of the Ozarks has been designated the "Best Recreational Lake in the Nation" is because it caters to paddlers of all types. The newest paddling sport to hit the Lake of the Ozarks is stand-up paddleboarding. Visitors of any skill level, from first-timers to the most seasoned pros, can get their paddles wet at a number of resorts, marinas and paddle-specific businesses.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
"What makes the Lake of the Ozarks such a great paddling destination is that there are so many different coves," says Dave Bertels, co-owner of Super Dave's Paddle Craft Adventures in Sunrise Beach. "There are many opportunities for paddlers to duck into different coves where the water is super smooth and paddle around and explore the unique scenery. And, on sunny days, it's nice to be able to run along the cliff faces to stay in the shade. You can dip in the water to cool down and then keep paddling. You don't always get those opportunities on different lakes or with different paddle craft."</div>

"A little bit of quality instruction makes all the difference. Most people catch on really quickly and there's no slowing them down after that. They get it and then they're hooked.

Once vacationers have their paddle craft, they can launch their vessels and spend the day exploring the park's Aquatic Trail, a nearly 10-mile stretch of water that runs from Grand Glaize Beach to the park's main campground. Buoys are placed at various Lake locations to mark this unique water trail and a special corresponding Aquatic Trail interpretive map provides information about what boaters see at each stop. The diversity of the park and its natural communities are showcased with stops to view woodlands, glades, streams and geological structures. Boaters can learn how swallows use the bluffs in the park, how chert is formed and why glades are being lost to cedar invasion. The Aquatic Trail map is available at various locations in the park and is recommended before embarking on this on-the-water adventure.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Spring Harbor Hop, a highly-anticipated seasonal tradition at the Lake of the Ozarks, combines some of the best things about springtime in the area - warm weather, scenic beauty, boating, dining, live music and fun - along with the chance to win big prizes. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">

"We typically have some beautiful weather and the trees and flowers in bloom along the shores of the Lake make for a wonderful spring Saturday. On top of that, you get to visit an outstanding variety of the area's most popular restaurants and marinas, enjoy some good food, great live music and have fun with your friends. It's something I look forward to every year."</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Harbor Hop participants can travel by water or by land to their choice of over 40 lakeside restaurants, bars, resorts and marinas in order to complete the best poker hand (or hands). Hoppers must travel to at least seven different locations to draw cards, but can visit as many of the participating venues as they wish.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The rules of this poker hop are simple. Participants begin the Harbor Hop by making a suggested donation of $20 per hand and drawing their first card(s) at any of the participating venues. From there, six additional cards are obtained by visiting at least six additional Harbor Hop locations to draw one card, per hand, at each location. Once the seventh card is drawn, the hand is complete and turned in at the location where that card was drawn. In order to help improve the hand(s), one additional card per hand can be obtained at that same location for a $5 donation. </span></div>

The peak season varies from year to year depending on the weather and can last until early November.</span></span></div>

There are many excellent ways to experience the splendor of the season at the Lake of the Ozarks. On land, visitors can take self-guided scenic driving tours, hike in the area's two state parks, play a round at one of 14 championships golf courses or enjoy the scenery from a delicious lakeside restaurant. On the water, "leaf-peepers" can take in the sights on a leisurely cruise on the Lake of the Ozarks or by fighting fish in a colorful cove. </div>

<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Central Missouri's Lake of the Ozarks, named the "Best Recreational Lake in the Nation" by readers of USA Today, is worth a road trip all on its own. The Lake of the Ozarks covers 54,000 acres with 64 billion gallons of water stretching 92 miles end-to-end across a four-county area. The Lake boasts myriad attractions and events as well as over 200 restaurants and nightspots and more than 50 marinas for on-the-water fun along its 1,150 miles of shoreline.</span></span></div>

The skeletal stone structure was originally constructed as an opulent country escape for Robert M. Snyder, a wealthy Kansas City business man who perished in one of Missouri's first automobile accidents. Snyder never lived to see his dream realized but the home was completed by his sons and later operated as a hotel before being gutted by a fire in 1942. In addition to the outer walls of the estate, a stone water tower also remains to stand sentry over the park.</span></span></div>

Over 100,000 spectators turn out for the Shootout each year to witness </span> <span style="font-size: 11pt;">some of the fastest offshore powerboats in the world race individually to see who can clock the fastest speed as they compete for the coveted honor of "Top Gun."</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">According to Tim Jacobsen, executive director of the Lake of the Ozarks Convention and Visitor Bureau, the Shootout is a fun and exciting family-friendly event.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"The Shootout is certainly one of the most popular summer events at the Lake of the Ozarks and for a good reason," Jacobsen says. "It's an event that's unique to our lake and it's an amazing experience to see these incredibly fast boats fly across the water and hit top speeds of over 200 mph. And, the atmosphere at Captain Ron's is great. Everyone in attendance gets pumped up and cheers for the boats as they try to break the speed record. It really is a 'must-see' event."</span></span></div>

"I enjoy taking someone that's never fished before and helping them learn not just how to catch a fish, but how to tie on a lure and learn every aspect of fishing from start to finish. The biggest thrill I get is seeing the happiness on my customers' faces, especially kids, when they've learned something new and have success by catching the first fish of their life. Their face just lights up and their excitement is contagious. It can be a life-changing experience. And, I've found you're never to old to learn something new. I've been doing this for years and I still learn something new every time I'm on the water."</span></div>

"Golf can be an intimidating and frustrating game, but it doesn't have to be," Wilson says. "Everyone has to start somewhere. With the right amount of patience and practice, any golfer can come a long way in a relatively short time, especially with the help of a golf pro. <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif , serif , "emojifont";">One has to remember, like anything in life, with a little dedication and practice you can go as far as you are willing to go. </span>A pro can help you with your stance, your swing, your whole approach and can make a world of difference. Working with a pro in an easy-going, no-pressure setting can be a lot of fun and very beneficial, no matter what kind of golfer you are or if you've never played before at all."</div>

With 13 championship courses dotting the area, there's no better place to learn the finer points of the game. Nearly all 13 courses offer one-on-one golf tutorials with PGA professionals to ensure that visitors have a great first experience and/or improve their game while at the Lake. Personal attention and, in some cases, state-of-the-art video analysis will help iron out the kinks in any duffer's swing and help newcomers develop a solid foundation and appreciation for the game. All 13 courses also offer various practice facilities so golfers can work on long drives from the tees and master their short game on putting greens, chipping greens and more. Once a golfer spends a couple hours with a pro or working on their game on the practice range, they'll be ready to put their skills to the test on any of the courses at the Lake, from the most forgiving layouts to the most challenging.

Stand-up paddle boarding, which is like a cross between surfing and kayaking, is one of the fastest growing sports world-wide and offers a unique and enjoyable experience as boarders glide across the surface of the water, providing a totally different perspective of being on the Lake compared with traditional skiing, boating or wakeboarding. </div>

The owners of Super Dave's, Lisa and Dave Bertel, fell in love with paddle boarding after being introduced to the sport while on vacation in Florida. According to Dave, it was tough going for him at first. "The first time I tried it, everyone else just took off with no problems at all, and I just kept falling in. I'd get back up on the board and fall right back in. Get back on, fall back in," Dave says. After a few more tries and a lot of laughs from his friends at his expense, Dave was up and paddling and never looked back. "Once I figured it out, I absolutely loved it. It's a blast," he says. "I told my wife, Lisa, we have to bring this to the Lake. It'd be perfect."</div>

In addition, the Bertels started </span> <span style="color: #285685; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">teaching customers all about the sport so that visitors will have better luck than Dave did his first time out. "I love seeing the pure joy that people derive from trying paddle boarding," Dave says. "A lot of people are afraid at first or think it's going to be hard. Then they get the hang of it and have a blast. Often times it's the most reluctant person in a group we're teaching that's always the last person back in because they've had the best time. We're all about having an adventure and having fun. </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">T</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">eaching new people paddle boarding and watching them fall head over heels for the sport makes our job the best job in the world,</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">" he concludes.</span></span><br />

The crew of two at Super Dave's makes sure to set each intrepid adventurer up for success. Each paddle board rental comes with personalized instructions from either Dave or Lisa where they teach their customers how to safely and successfully get on the board, stand up on the board, how to paddle efficiently and how to control their board before making their way out into the quiet Lake cove. This can take anywhere from five to 15 minutes, depending upon the customer, however, additional assistance and coaching is provided if desired. "We want to make sure everyone is successful and has a great time," Dave says.</div>

<div style="font-size: 11pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">One of the best ways to enjoy the scenic and natural beauty of the Ozarks is by hiking or taking a leisurely walk through the mixed terrain enjoying the sights, sounds and smells of the forests, glades, meadows and </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">prairie</span> <span style="font-size: 11pt;">.

<span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">There is perhaps no better place to hike at the Lake of the Ozarks than at its two state parks. In total, the parks have a combined 26 different trails covering over 57 miles. Each park showcases the area's natural history and beauty and each has its own claim to fame.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Jim Divincen, administrator for the Lake of the Ozarks Tri-County Lodging Association, enjoys spending some of his free time hiking the trails at Ha Ha Tonka. One of Divincen's favorite trails is the park's longest, Turkey Pen Hollow. This 6.5-mile hike winds through the scenic and rugged Ha Ha Tonka Oak Woodland Natural Area.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt;">

<div style="font-size: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><div style="font-size: 11pt;">
"With some near 200-foot climbs in elevation, this trail provides many spectacular views," says Divincen. "The first time I finished the trail, I remember thinking, 'wow, that was really special.' Since then, I've hiked this trail on several occasions at different times of the year and it's an absolutely beautiful experience no matter the season or the weather."</div>
</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Divincen recommends that those planning to hike Turkey Pen Hollow should allow at least three hours to complete the trail. In addition, Divincen encourages hikers of any of the trails at the Lake to be sure to bring plenty of drinking water. </span> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">More details on Ha Ha Tonka's trails can be found at</span><a href="https://mostateparks.com/park/ha-ha-tonka-state-park" linktype="1" rel="nofollow" shape="rect" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" target="_blank" track="on">mostateparks.com/park/ha-ha-tonka-state-park</a> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">.</span></div>

One of the park's more popular trails is Coakley Hollow, a self-guided interpretive trail that measures a fairly easy distance of one mile. Coakley Hollow meanders through one of the most ecologically diverse areas in the park, featuring six different types of ecosystems, including dolomite glades, fens, spring-fed streams and several types of woodlands. Interpretive stations are located along the trail, making it easy to learn about the terrain and rare species encountered along the hike.</div>

"A great family-friendly trail at Lake of the Ozarks State Park is the Lakeview Bend Trail," says Divincen. This 1.5-mile trail begins at the campground check-in station along State Highway 134 in Kaiser and runs along the banks of Lake of the Ozarks. "There are some splendid views of the Lake from this trail, especially in-season, from June through October, when the water level is up," Divincen concludes.</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Lake in the Nation," from
self-guided scenic driving tours to languid cruises on the Lake of the Ozarks,
hiking in the area's state parks to playing a round at one of 13 championship
golf courses, fighting fish in a colorful cove or taking in the scenery from a
favorite lakeside restaurant. However visitors decide to spend their time at
the Lake, they will want to bring their cameras because they'll be in for a
treat during one of the most visually stunning times of the year in the Ozarks.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"We have many visitors return every autumn for the
changing of the seasons," says Tim Jacobsen, executive director of the
Lake of the Ozarks Convention and Visitor Bureau. "A lot of them come from
around Missouri, but we get quite a few from all over the Midwest and even the
west coast because they don't get to experience fall like we do here in Central
Missouri. They plan their entire vacations around it."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Those that live at the Lake of the Ozarks enjoy the beauty
of the seasons on a daily basis, but for visitors, just driving from their
lodging to wherever their trip to the Lake may take them, it can be a very
special experience. And, stopping briefly off the beaten paths and main
roads throughout the Lake can reveal many colorful surprises for those hoping
to bask in the autumnal glory of the Ozarks.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are multiple designated scenic overlooks in the Lake
area, each offering visitors a unique vantage point of the Lake and its
impressive features. The Ameren Scenic Overlook, located just off the
Bagnell Dam on Upper Power Plant Road in Lake Ozark, offers a unique
perspective of the Bagnell Dam and the Lake of the Ozarks. Visitors get a
distinct view of the Lake as well as the significant elevation change from the
Lake of the Ozarks to the Osage River, the Lake's main tributary. Just
down the road from the Ameren Overlook, visitors to Willmore Lodge, 1 Willmore
Lane, can enjoy in the panoramic view of the Lake from the back deck of this
Adirondak-style building that was constructed in 1930 as an administration
building and recreation hall for Union Electric executives. Willmore Lodge
now houses a history museum dedicated to the creation of the Bagnell Dam and
the Lake of the Ozarks. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

each offering an exceptional vantage point of the Lake and its fantastic fall
foliage. On the way to Bridal Cave, there's the Thunder Mountain Park overlook
located on Bridal Cave Road. From this overlook, visitors are afforded a view
of the lush hillside leading down to Bridal Cave as well as the shimmering
waters of the Lake. Nearby, located in the surrounding Camdenton Conservation
Service Center off Thunder Mountain Road, there is a 100-foot tall fire tower
with an observation deck situated 80 feet above ground that's open to the
public for expansive views of the rolling topography.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">About four miles south of Camdenton, visitors to Ha Ha Tonka
State Park get a wonderful treat of colors at several overlooks located off
paved trails that circle around the park's iconic "castle ruins." Ha
Ha Tonka, which was voted the fourth best state park in the nation by readers
of USA Today, is a popular attraction at the Lake during the fall. This park
offers 14 walking trails covering more than 15 miles throughout the park,
making it easy for visitors to experience the different geological formations -
tunnels, caverns, springs and sinkholes - as well as the park's pristine
woodland areas and glades. There's also a wooden boardwalk that winds
around the natural spring, as well as 316 steps leading up to the stone
skeleton of the once-majestic rural estate of Robert McClure Snyder.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lake of the Ozarks State Park, Missouri's most visited park
and also its largest at 17,626 acres, boasts 12 hiking trails ranging from 0.8
of a mile to 13.5 miles winding through the park, including trails that
accommodate mountain bikers and equestrians. These trails are great
for leisurely strolls and/or more vigorous hikes through a
variety of terrain and ecological systems, including hardwood forests,
glades, fens and prairies. They also take hikers along the shores of the Lake
and atop bluffs with picturesque views of the water below. This park is
very popular with anglers and boaters as it also offers boat rentals, public
ramps, docks and a designated self-guided aquatic trail. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Two favorite Lake of the Ozarks pastimes heat up as the
temperatures begin to cool down in the fall. Anglers and golfers alike both
favor the fall weather when pursuing their favored hobby. Both fishing and
golf are four-season sports at the Lake, but, there is a certain charm in being
outdoors in the Ozarks in autumn. Anglers find the quieter waters favorable for
fishing in secluded coves along the 1,150 miles of shoreline, as their time on
the water proves to be both beautiful and productive. Largemouth bass and
catfish are plentiful, while white bass become a highly sought after target in
the shallower waters this time of year. Crappie become active again
around brush piles planted in the Lake in September and continue to
bite well into the winter.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

"Autumn is probably the best time to play golf at the Lake because the
summer rush is over and the courses are all in great shape," says Paul
Leahy, president of the Lake of the Ozarks Golf Council and director of golf at
Tan-Tar-A Resort. "In mid-fall, especially, you have very comfortable
temperatures and more affordable tee times and the foliage is typically quite
stunning. It's certainly one of my favorite times to be out on the
course."<o:p></o:p></span></div>

throughout the Lake of the Ozarks area as the peak summer travel season winds
down. "The Lake is a popular destination any time of year, but with
fall being a shoulder season, it's one of the most beautiful and also most affordable
times to visit," says Tim Jacobsen. "Many of the Lake's attractions
are open for business year-around, so the only thing you'll be missing are the
big crowds." Lodging options at the Lake range from full-service luxury
resorts to smaller family-owned resorts, comfortable cabins to familiar hotels
and motels, quaint bed and breakfasts to condominiums and vacation homes. For

<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On any given weekend during the summer, visitors to Central Missouri's <span class="s2">Lake of the Ozarks</span> will find a wide array of musical performances taking place around the area. Many of the Lake's resorts and 200 eateries and night spots showcase local musicians as well as some more renowned acts, because what's a trip to the Lake without a little music and sunshine? It doesn't matter what genre a visitor is looking for, whether it be rock and roll, blues, country or bluegrass, the Lake of the Ozarks always strikes the perfect chord. Below is a highlight of some of the musical acts coming to four of the Lake's larger outdoor stages this summer.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span class="s1">Although it's widely recognized as one of the best vacation destinations in the Midwest, Central Missouri's </span>Lake of the Ozarks has also earned the reputation of being one of the best fisheries in the nation, too. Thousands of anglers return to the Lake time and time again to take to the waters in search of that next big catch.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The sheer size of this man-made reservoir can be difficult to comprehend: it covers over 54,000 acres with over 64 billion gallons of fish-filled water supplied by five tributaries, all enclosed within 1,150 miles of meandering shoreline. To put that in perspective, that's more shoreline than the entire Pacific coast of the state of California.</span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">That's exactly what makes the Lake of the Ozarks one of the best destinations for anglers of all experience levels. With all that water, shoreline and natural and artificial habitat, as well as careful management, the fish populations flourish, making for a lot of line-tugging, fish-fighting fun throughout the entire year.</span></span></div>

But, arguably the most sought after are crappie and bass. The Lake hosts over 500 professional and amateur fishing tournaments each year, the most popular being the semi-annual spring and fall Big Bass Bash tournaments, which typically pay out a whopping $60,000 cash prize to the amateur that reels in the biggest fish.</span></span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Fishing has been a popular family activity at the Lake of the Ozarks for over 80 years. "If you're interested in catching your daily limits of sizable </span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">fish, the Lake of the Ozarks provides a wonderful opportunity to accomplish that,” says Jim Divincen, administrator for the Lake of the Ozarks Tri-County Lodging Association. "It's also a great way to spend quality time with your family. Generations of families have grown up fishing here and continue to pass on the tradition to each new generation or addition to their families. In fact, some of my fondest memories are of fishing with my daughters on the Lake."</span></div>

<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">John Neporadny, a longtime Lake of the Ozarks resident and a member of the Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame, shares Divincen's enthusiasm for the Lake and believes it lives up to its billing as one of the best fisheries in the nation. "I've had the opportunity to fish many of the best rivers, natural lakes and reservoirs throughout the country and on many occasions I've discovered there is no place like home."</span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This former fishing guide and author of The Lake of the Ozarks Fishing Guide book continues, "Missouri has many fine fisheries, but I would have to rate Lake of the Ozarks as the best reservoir in the state for catching a variety of game fish. I believe that day in and day out, Lake of the Ozarks gives anglers an equal opportunity to catch bass, crappie, white bass or catfish."</span></span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The autumn season is a favorite among anglers for the cooler temperatures, colorful fall foliage and productive fishing. The warmer weather and extended hours of daylight make spring and summer the most popular seasons with boaters and anglers alike, but that doesn't mean the fish stop biting in the fall and winter.</span></span></div>

And, during the fall and winter seasons, many of the Lake-area resorts offer discounted rates on lodging, providing yet another reason to plan a fishing trip to the Lake of the Ozarks.</span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Those willing to layer up and brave the colder conditions, may have the largest payoff as some of the Lake's record-breaking fish have been caught during the winter months. And, a handful of Lake-area resorts feature enclosed heated fishing docks for catching crappie, some are even furnished with couches and TVs to ensure a comfortable and pleasurable winter fishing experience.</span></span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">The Lake area not only boasts a good number of trophy-size fish, but also a good number of national trophy-winning fishermen. Guido Hibdon, winner of the Bassmaster Classic and two-time BASS Angler of the year; Dion Hibdon, winner of the Bassmaster Classic and FLW Forrest Wood Cup; fishing legend Denny Brauer, the first ever angler to be featured on the Wheaties Box; Brian Maloney, FLW All-American National Champion; and Marcus Sykora, FLW All-American National Champion, all call the Lake of the Ozarks home. Clearly, there must be something in the water.</span></div>

<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"The Lake is an unbelievable place to be for pro anglers because there are many different river systems, many different types of cover for the fish, and you have four distinct seasons, so fishing this lake prepares you for all sorts of scenarios,” says Sykora, who won the 2014 FLW All-American championship on Wilson Lake in Alabama. "You learn to excel at fishing in very shallow water; very deep water; in warm and cold weather; windy, rainy and sunny conditions; so you develop a </span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">unique sense for the different patterns and techniques you need to use for each given scenario. That, in my opinion, is why Lake of the Ozarks anglers tend to be so successful in big tournaments. Our home lake has prepared us well. And, that's also why the </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Lake attracts and produces so many great anglers."</span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If you come to the Lake to do some fishing, it's never a bad idea to do a little research. There are many resources available to anglers providing information on the best locations, patterns, bait and more. A great online resource is www.BassingBob.com, where you can get current reports on water conditions and tips from local pros. In print, there's the Lake of the Ozarks Fishing News available for free at most bait shops and grocery stores around the Lake area, and several local newspapers also feature up-to-date fishing reports and tips as well.</span></span></div>

Local guides know the waters better than almost anyone and make for a relaxing and effortless fishing experience. With one call, you can book these professionals, who will take you to the Lake's fishing "hot spots," and will also provide the boat and all the equipment needed for the excursion. All you have to do is show up and your guide will take care of the rest.</span></span></div>

<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"A big lake like this can be intimidating for some people," says Ed Franko, owner of Big Ed's Guide Service in Lake Ozark. "Professional fishing guides make it easy and they maximize the quality of time a person spends on the water. Most of us are out on the Lake 250-plus days a year, so we know where the fish are and what they're biting. We also have some of the best equipment and a wealth of knowledge to ensure that people have a great experience here at the Lake of the Ozarks. </span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Because, when you get down to it, it's all about the experience and a good guide can be the difference between a great fishing trip or an extremely frustrating one."</span></div>

<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The act of viewing a bald eagle in flight is a memorable moment that brings excitement and joy to adults and children alike. One of the best times of year to spot these majestic birds is during the winter season as they migrate from Alaska and Canada to warmer climates. Visitors to the Lake of the Ozarks will have the opportunity to view these awesome feathered creatures and learn more about them and other birds of prey at <a href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001TB_DXo9fzQ1UdxsUFyznJkStdfyIyh0b9ridvSiCTdyr4Fko9EIJeegxzwUo7C_2asgAQHeo9W4AXqlKoLqGqSAjeL-HzeLZFyKhR68ZbQzKHJ5iwjc8xfVeFMFFdQXp9cp8ysyJ5FsxI5abvgeiop4ASXat9lPVeIq-eugBRgPpWxKi-wdhSg==&c=ITPiKyM1ERiM-8wuawi_Yb_pSJqHNoD43YfKLZ_QdccLPH7mG7nWfw==&ch=-nh3_QDWeUS5xkBfBKTVytFC22si8ev4QIm0z8aP_RgQy_1aL8DZQA=="><span class="s2"><b>Lake of the Ozarks Eagle Days</b></span></a>, January 9-10.</span></span></div>

<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">According to the Missouri Department of Conservation, more than 2,000 bald eagles are reported around the state's large rivers and reservoirs in the wintertime, making Missouri one of the leaders in bald eagle viewing in the lower 48 states. The bluffs and large wooded areas surrounding the Lake of the Ozarks make this area a popular stop during their annual exodus from the frigid temperatures of the north. </span></span></div>

<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Central Missouri's Lake of the Ozarks Eagle Days activities allow attendees to see the birds in a natural setting, perched in the trees or in flight, as well as offering opportunities for up-close viewing at programs offered by the World Bird Sanctuary from St. Louis. Events on Saturday, Jan. 9, begin at 9 am and continue until 5:30 pm. On Sunday, Jan. 10, events begin at 10 am and end at 4:30 pm. All Eagle Days activities are free and open to the public and take place in Lake Ozark, all within a short drive of one another.</span></span></div>

<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When Sue Westenhaver, chairman of the board of the Lake of the Ozarks Tri-County Lodging Association, owner and operator of Inn at Harbour Ridge Bed and Breakfast and one of the original organizers of the Eagle Days event at the Lake, first moved to Missouri from northern Illinois, she had no idea bald eagles inhabited the Lake area, much less that they were so plentiful. After attending her first eagle viewing event in Warsaw, Mo. at the Truman Dam in 1983, she wanted to establish a similar event at the Lake of the Ozarks. Westenhaver recruited some good friends and together they orchestrated the first program at the Lake, which was initially a one-day event held at the School of the Osage Heritage Elementary School and the Bagnell Dam Access. Over the last 30 years, this celebration of America's national bird has continued to grow in scale and popularity from a couple hundred spectators that first year to nearly 4,000 expected over the course of the weekend for the 2016 event.</span></span></div>

<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"My favorite part about Eagle Days is watching the beautiful birds flying, swooping, dipping and dancing right above everyone's head," Westenhaver says. "That, and seeing the children's eyes light up when they get to see a bald eagle up close during the naturalist programs. The little kids get so excited and just start to squeal in delight. It's just wonderful."</span></span></div>

<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The event has been dubbed "Woodstock on Wheels," as attendees can hop on shuttle buses to travel to and from some of the Lake's hottest nightspots to check out and enjoy live musical entertainment throughout the evening.</span></span></div>

<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"It's kind of like a mini-music festival right here at the Lake," says event organizer Jeff Carroll. "You have some really great live bands playing everything from rock and roll to blues and country all throughout the night at some of the best bars and restaurants around the Lake. Everyone who has participated in the past, whether as attendees or musicians, has really enjoyed themselves."</span></span></div>

<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Carroll says participating in the Lake Stock Fall Crawl is easy. Attendees purchase a $10 wrist band that gets them into all 10 event venues without paying a cover charge, as well as free shuttle service to and from all Lake Stock locations. Once they have their wristbands, participants can choose how and where they spend their evening. The shuttle service will run in a continuous loop from many local hotels, motels, resorts and condominiums to all of the Fall Crawl venues. Shuttles begin running at 6 p.m. with the event officially kicking off at 7 p.m. In most locations, live music will be showcased from 8 p.m. until closing. A detailed shuttle route can be found on the event's website, <a href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001wE6Gd6Tw-QVJ6ftckV0ETcLKxGt_NRwL22TOYyPrHjshWJ1fdPeuoLQcnx-ThyZVjkbFXRZiMHQq8fKNaExBV_WALS_YByyBULvU7KGjQb1-hi2BDIMRAdG6oGF4Ati9c_za_tZeWbxdNwLmXPp-qCyQUeGtd3PUQ_V_-_6lMQ5PQdL4exG9-Q==&c=x8Fy-Bt699spcoKW6Dsd6y6pepbyCZyrYBpnvKMiKXm_HwvAeCgB4Q==&ch=1vyZC7CDJlCzDB3rYBZDa7dwR2YI2g7TW6D0KuoaYA9CamwZBSVLSg=="><span class="s2">www.LakeStockFallCrawl</span></a>. Wristbands can be purchased at all 10 Lake Stock venues the week before, as well as the night of the event. </span></span></div>

<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now in its third year, Carroll says Lake Stock has only been getting bigger and better. "We're expecting around 2,500 people to come and spend a festive Saturday evening at their favorite restaurants and bars. And, hopefully they'll discover some cool new bands, too." Carroll also says the "throwback vibe" of the event has really caught on. "A lot of people will be dressed up in '60s and '70s attire: tie-dyed shirts, bell bottoms, big collars, big boots, big hair. The whole getup. It's a lot of fun." And, to keep with the spirit of the event, custom tie-dyed Lake Stock Fall Crawl t-shirts will be on sale throughout the night at each location.</span></span></div>

<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In addition to the live entertainment, "crawlers" are eligible for prizes and giveaways throughout the evening to ensure a fun and festive event. Carroll urges participants to book their lodging packages early and also suggests coming in a day early and making a weekend out of it. "If you're coming in from out of town, there are many awesome attractions and a lot of cool stuff to do, so you might as well make the most of your time here at the Lake."</span></span></div>

<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Although the music and good times take top billing, safety is also a key component in the event. "We want to make it easy for anyone who wants to join us to have a good time and get home safely. Those are our main two concerns, with safety being at the top of the list," says Carroll. "With our shuttle service to and from all of the entertainment venues, we make it very easy to put your keys away and have a safe and worry-free night out on the town."</span></span></div>
