Sunrise Beach - Lake of the Ozarks Guide
City/town and lake information
I consider lake of the Ozarks to consist of three small towns - Lake Ozarks, Sunrise Beach, and Osage Beach. Lake of the Ozarks contains most of the shopping and amenities. Lake of the Ozarks is approximately 10 minutes from the house. It is kind of a sprawling town. Bagnell Dam is also located in the Lake of the Ozarks. Bagnell Dam has a wealth of shopping, bars, and restaurants! It is a super fun place to venture for the whole family.
Location of the house. Local shops throughout the area.
The Lake of the Ozarks encompasses 53,000 acres and has more than 1,150 miles of shoreline. The main channel, the Osage River, is about 100 miles long from Truman Dam to Bagnell Dam. The Lake of the Ozarks, the lake itself, is referred to by mile markers (MM). The Bagnell Dam, which was completed in 1932 to form the lake, would be considered the 0 MM. From there on it goes in increments of miles - 1 MM, 2 MM, 3 MM and so on.

Lake Ozarks contains most of the amenities, activities, shopping, and local attractions. There is a “boardwalk” area that is a must. It is located in the same spot as the Malted Monkey.
