Boating. Water skiing. Boat tours. Cruises. Tubing. There’s no shortage of activities to take advantage of during your stay at the Lake of the Ozarks.

Add paddle boarding to that list! What is Paddleboarding, you ask?

According to Going Coastal, a new paddle board business in Osage Beach, this water sport is “one of the fastest growing water sports in the world”. It not only allows for a new view of the lake, but also provide a workout that will work your core.

Going Coastal offers an array of paddle boards for purchase, but also has demos throughout the summer so you can experience this leisurely sport first-hand. Give Going Coastal a call at 573-480-1623 or e-mail them here. Also, be sure to “Like” their Facebook page!

Where to Eat Jamaican Food At the Lake of the Ozarks

It’s so tasty, MON!

It’s true. You don’t need to head to the Caribbean to try the zesty, spicy, kick-in-your mouth flavors of Jamaica.

During your stay with us at the Lake of the Ozarks, head to Gravois Mills (near mile marker 5) to try out The Jerk Shack!

If this is your first Jamaican cuisine experience, be sure to start with the fried plantains. Crispy, crunchy goodness! For the main dish, there’s plenty of meats to choose from, all cooked with a jerk seasoning that will have your tastebuds craving for more. Their famous Jerk Chicken and Dreadlock Jerk Pork are two entrees we’d highly recommend.

Even though the food and drinks are the star of the show, no restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks makes the top of our list without having a gorgeous view of the lake. Take a look at this photo below to see the view The Jerk Shack has in store.

Here’s a tip from Lake of the Ozarks West Chamber of Commerce that can save you money!

Save up to 50% on Indian Rock Golf this weekCheck it out at this website and set your tee time.

Here’s a little bit about the course in case you’re a newbie:

Long ago Osage Indian tribes lived in this remote area. These densely wooded rolling hills were one of their principal meeting places. Numerous “thong trees” (saplings bent to the ground and tied down), found throughout Indian Rock, were used by the Osage Indians as markers to show the way to various destinations. While playing golf at Indian Rock it’s not hard to imagine the sheer beauty and serenity that early natives must have experienced when they discovered these picturesque grounds.
