If you’re at the Lake of the Ozarks this weekend, don’t forget to check out Swapping Days at Jacob’s Cave!

There will be acres of crafts, collectables, pigeons, poultry, small animals (no horses, cattle or swine), and various products at Jacobs Cave. Mostly animals — ducks, chickens, rabbits. 200 different varieties of chickens.

Rough camping and shower-house available. Refreshments sold. Reduced cave tour rates. Located on Route 5, between Gravois Mills and Versailles. Admission: $5 per vehicle.

In case you haven’t been to Jacob’s Cave, we highly recommend it!  It was the first commercialized cave in the Lake of the Ozarks area and opened for tourists in 1932. It’s famous for its depth illusion, reflective pools, ceiling sponge-work, prehistoric bones (mastodon, bear and peccary), and the world’s largest geode.

Be sure to put a pin in their map (see below)! With one glance, you’ll see people come from far and wide to see Jacob’s Cave.

As they say at the Lake of the Ozarks — “The fish bite when the dogwoods are in bloom”.

One of the most gorgeous times of the year to visit the lake is in April for the Dogwood Festival, which is held on Saturday, April 18th – 20th in Camdenton.

There’s plenty to do for the entire family — enjoy live music, foods, carnival activities, beauty pageants, arts crafts and more. This festival brings in more than 10,000 people each year.
