A few days ago, I saw 45 eagles (bald and golden species) feeding on chad at the Lake of the Ozarks.
They accumulate around the open water on the main channel, catching fish to eat or feeding their young that are sitting on the outskirts of the open water.
This is a nature lover’s dream!!
For all of you bird watchers, this is a fantastic time to visit the lake.
We’re running a 15% off special for reservations at the Crownview or Casablanca this weekend.
If you’re booking online, use the offer code: EAGLES.

What does Freedom Boat Club (FBC) have to offer at the Lake of the Ozarks?
FBC boats range from 16 to 27 feet. These boats include:
Inshore Center Consoles
Offshore Center Consoles
Decks
Pontoons
Bow Riders
Sailboats
Kayaks
Their boats are guaranteed to be new or like new. Currently, their boats are all new at the Lake of the Ozarks. All FBC boats are equipped with four-stroke engines, which are extremely quiet and fuel efficient. They are also fully outfitted with all of the United States Coast Guard (USCG) required safety equipment. In addition, our boats may come equipped with depth finder, fish finder, VHF marine radio, compass, stereo, ladder, anchor, and bimini tops.
What are three major benefits for people who become FBC members?
As a FBC member, members are offered unlimited training. USCG certified captains on staff that provide individual instruction. New member orientation includes 2 hours of classroom instruction followed by 2 hours on the water. There’s also additional training for sailing and offshore boating. We also provide unlimited local orientation at all company locations.
Members hassle free boating experience begins when they arrive at the dock. The dock master helps them get all of their belongings loaded on the boat. They and their friends or family members head out on the water for a day of enjoyment. Upon their return, they simply pay for the fuel you used. They may fuel the boat yourself, or leave that to our dock staff. The dock staff then help them take all of their belongings back to their car and then they drive away.
FBS cleans the boat, which normally consumes two thirds of a boat owner’s time, leaving only one third spent enjoying the water. As a FBC member, 100% of your time will be enjoying the water. FBC does all the required maintenance; a boat owner’s average annual cost of maintenance is 15% of the purchase price of the boat.
How can a person become a member?
