Lake of the Ozarks State Park

Missouri's largest state park, with over 17,000 acres stretching along the Grand Glaize Arm of the lake. It has two public beaches — Grand Glaize Beach and Patterson Beach — as well as more than 100 miles of trails for hiking and mountain biking. Equestrian trails run through the wooded interior. Ozark Caverns, a natural cave system within the park, offers guided tours.

The park has multiple campgrounds and is one of the most-visited in the Missouri state park system, particularly on summer weekends.
