You can only access these places by land. They typically stay open in the "off" season, although days/hours might be limited.

These places are on the water but you can also get to them by land.

Lake Boat Rental Resources We don’t have any affiliation with any of these companies and you can find other options by googling “Lake of the Ozarks Boat Rental.” We personally have never rented a boat and we don’t have any experience with these companies. I picked out a few places below that are close by land and/or water and a few others that are further away. Some companies offer pick-up drop off service, some offer charters and some offer self-caption with restrictions. Please do additional research and look at reviews! There are also a number of Facebook groups for Lake of the Ozarks, where people ask this question regularly, if you use social media, you may get first hand recommendations through these groups. Make sure you know the options for pick-up / drop off by water or land and understand the requirements to drive the boat yourself or hire a captain. House Location: We are located on the West side of the lake in Buck Creek Cove at the 8MM of the Main channel.
