About Lake Ozark

Lake Ozark grew up around Bagnell Dam, the 1931 dam that created the lake, and the Bagnell Dam Strip still gives it the most recognisable sense of place at the Lake. Beyond the Strip, the town reaches onto Horseshoe Bend, where some of the lake’s most established waterfront neighborhoods sit.

Properties range from walkable condominiums near the dam to substantial estates with long frontage on the bend.

Lakefront in Lake Ozark
