It truly is the quintessential lake life summer retreat, there are so many great bars, restaurants, shops, and activities to do while visiting the lake. If you want a city experience for a summer trip sure, head to Chicago or New York, but if you want an authentic lake vacation you cant beat the Lake of the Ozarks.
