7 Fun Off-Season Activities to Enjoy at Lake of the Ozarks
At
Lake Ozark Vacation Destinations, we think one of the greatest features
about the Lake of the Ozarks is the diverse choice of things to do that are available
all year round. Some people tend to only think about summertime activities when
considering spending time at the lake. But, as the premier provider of vacation rental homes at the Lake of the Ozarks, we know that the lake area has something
to offer no matter what the season or weather. If you are
interested in learning about some fun off-season activities that you can enjoy
any time you vacation at the Lake of the Ozarks, keep reading this blog!
1) Caving
As
you know, Missouri is the cave state, and Lake of the Ozarks has its share of
incredible caverns. With several commercial caves available as well as
those in area State Parks, you have something to explore no matter what the temperature
is outside.

2) Hiking
Hiking
on the many trails in the State Parks can be much more comfortable when it
cools down in the fall and once the leaves fall, you will be AMAZED at how much
more of the land and the lake you can see without the lush
foliage.
3) Ice Skating
Another
advantage to cooler temperatures ... ice skating is possible. Enjoy a
great atmosphere with fire pits and hot chocolate while you test your skating
skills. Don't worry, ice walkers are available if you are new to the
sport or feel a little unsteady on the ice.
4) Local Breweries, Wineries, and Distilleries
You
might be surprised at the options available in a small area. We have several brewpubs whose owners have a
true passion for creating fresh and delicious beer, as well as wineries
producing their own special varieties and blends with Missouri-grown grapes. We
even have a family-owned and run distillery at the Lake making craft bourbon,
moonshine and vodka. The tour is fascinating
and well worth the time!
5) Fishing
Fishing at the Lake of the Ozarks doesn’t
end when summer does, and fishermen and women don’t seem to mind the cold as long
as the fish are biting! It definitely helps when you have a dock to fish or launch
from and a warm vacation rental home waiting for you! Lake Ozark VacationDestinations can help you with that.
6) Indoor Swimming
There
are also a few resorts at the lake that have indoor pools or water parks that are
open to the public whether you are staying there or not. From lazy rivers to
indoor water slides to lap pools, there is something to suit any swimming
enthusiast.
7) Arcades & Go Carts
While
they may have limited hours in the off-season, you still have the option of
going go-carting or taking yourself back to your childhood with an exciting day
at the arcade. From ski ball to driving
games to Space Invaders, it can be a great way to bond with the younger generation
while testing your competitive skills.
