TripAdvisor's Top Things to Do at the Lake
#1 Ha Ha Tonka State Park
Imposing architecture and breathtaking scenery combine to make Ha Ha Tonka State Park one of Missouri’s most treasured spots. Located on the Lake of the Ozarks, the park features the stone ruins of a turn-of-the-20th-century castle built by a prominent Kansas City businessman high atop a bluff. More than 15 miles of trails traverse the park, leading visitors to sinkholes, natural bridges, caves and down to the lake.
#2 Ozark Distillery
Ozark Distillery is a small family-owned business making Handcrafted spirits in small batches. We use time honored methods to produce a Corn Whiskey Moonshine that is smooth and sweet with a light corn flavor and aroma. Using distilled corn spirits, we infuse natural flavors such as real apples, blackberries, and vannila beans to produce our Flavored Moonshine.
