The entire Lake area, and especially the East side of the Lake, is replete with a broad spectrum off lake activities, and not all of them are as bold and provocative as others. If it's time to just lie back and unwind, you can find Infinity Float Spa conveniently located on Osage Beach Pkwy, just off highway 54, and both Old Kinderhook, and The Lodge at Four Seasons feature full service spas to suit whatever your needs might be. Music and entertainment can be a relaxing pastime, and many restaurants and bars feature regular performances, both on and off the Lake, as well as a repertoire of regular shows at the Main Street Music Hall, and the Ozarks Amphitheater features nationally recognized performers year round. If shopping is your recreation of choice, there is an ample selection of novelty shops, local crafts and antique stores all over the Lake of the Ozarks region, and for a more centralized shopping experience, the Osage Beach Outlet Marketplace provides an extensive selection of shops to explore, as well as nearby chain, retail and boutique stores that are easily accessible.
When people think of Lake of the Ozarks, they instantly think of the Lake, but there is so much more going on in this region than marine based activities. The Ozarks Plateau, and especially the Lake regions, have a diverse and expansive cultural history, and the museums and historical buildings in the area celebrate and help to preserve the past while educating the community and visitors on how we got to where we are today. With so many activities available, both on and off the Lake, is no wonder that Lake of the Ozarks is the Midwest's premier lake resort destination, or that people choose to spend a week, the summer, or the entire year appreciating all the Lake has to offer.
