Winter Activities at the Lake of the Ozarks

While cruising the Lake in the hot summer sun may be one of the most enjoyed activities here at the Lake of the Ozarks, there's still fun to be had during the Winter season! The waters may be cold, but the view is still spectacular. From shopping to shows, Lake of the Ozarks has plenty of activities for you to enjoy even when the temperature outside is a little chilly. Mission Bay has put together a list of some of the best Winter activities at the Lake for you to check out!

Osage Beach Premium Outlets


Shopping at the Lake of the Ozarks is a year-round activity at the Lake of the Ozarks. However, with the amount of time you spend on the water during the Summer, you may not have much time to get your shopping in. Why not take a trip to the Lake during the Winter? Get your Summer shopping done early and enjoy the outdoors when you come back for Summer 2015! The 110 outlet mall in Osage Beach has plenty of variety to fit the needs of each person in your household.

Bridal Cave 


Centuries ago the Osage Native American Indians discovered the pristine beauty that lies beneath Thunder Mountain. Local folklore tells of a legendary Native American Indian wedding ceremony held in the cave in the early 1800s. Today this magnificent natural wonderland is called Bridal Cave. In keeping with the tradition of the Native American legend, the Cave can be reserved for a romantic wedding chapel. Over 2,500 couples from around the world have exchanged vows in the stalactite adorned Bridal Chapel.

Guided tours leave every few minutes and last approximately one hour.  Tours are conducted over concrete pathways through the Cave's refreshing 60 degree environment.   Park interpreters will lead you and your family through room after room of incredible mineral deposits. Giant columns, delicate soda straws and massive draperies abound throughout the cave. Millions of years of struggle between water and rock have created this cavern with more onyx formations than any other known cave or cavern. In fact thousands of school children each year explore Bridal Cave as part of their educational program.  A tour through Bridal Cave is a family adventure you will never forget.

Jacob's Cave


Jacob's Cave is Lake of the Ozarks' largest and most scenic cave. One of Missouri's top tourist attractions, this cave offers family fun that caters to all ages with a fully lit and paved walkway that is completely handicap accessible with no steps. Jacob's Cave is famous for it's depth illusion, reflective pools, ceiling sponge-work, prehistoric bones (mastodon, bear and peccary), and the world's largest geode.

On the mile-long tour, you will see every type of cave formation imaginable, from millions of "soda straws" and massive stalactites and columns, to delicate helectites. Evidence of six ice ages and three earthquakes can be seen in the cave. The temperature remains a constant 53 degrees inside the cave. Located between Versailles and Gravois Mills off Missouri Hwy 5, Jacob's Cave is the largest cave in the Lake area and is the only walk through cave in Missouri that is completely accessible to persons with disabilities.
