Fall Harbor Hop At Lake Of The Ozarks! Here's The Schedule, The Stops, & What To Know

  • 3 min to read

For better or worse, it's about time for most boaters to bid farewell to the boating season, but not before the Fall Harbor Hop, set for Oct. 12 at Lake of the Ozarks. 

Boaters who haven't winterized yet — and those who don't need to — have a great excuse to cover a lot of water while playing a game of poker. Just make sure to bring a sturdy jacket aboard... it is fall weather, after all!

The 2024 Fall Harbor Hop details are below:

WHEN: Saturday, Oct. 12, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.

WHERE: Between the 1 & 38 Mile Markers on the Lake (checkpoints listed out further down)

The Harbor Hop is a boating event in which participants “hop” from and to waterfront restaurants and marinas to draw playing cards to build a poker hand and become eligible to win prizes. Players can start their hop and draw their first card at any of the 40+ sponsoring restaurants and marinas along the Lake’s main channel, the Big Niangua, and Gravois arms. 

Stop by fun lakefront spots like Jolly Rogers, Shorty Pants, and The Cave, among many others.

Enter the Harbor Hop by stopping at any of the participating checkpoints and drawing your first card (hands can be obtained with an optional $20 donation).

Six additional cards are obtained by “hopping” to six more checkpoints drawing one card, per hand, at each location. The hand is complete when the 7th card is drawn and the finished hand is turned in at the checkpoint where the 7th card is drawn. To qualify, a hand must be turned in by 7 p.m. the day of Harbor Hop.

Don't forget about the prizes! There are allocations for the best poker hand (and the worst), which are listed below and are based on entry donations. 

1st Place: 10%

2nd Place: 9%

3rd Place: 8%

4th Place: 7% each

5th - 10th Place: 5% each

4 Worst Hands: 4% each

Random Drawing for 10 Hands: 2% each

The Bonus: in addition to the regular prize winners, a section winner will be recognized. For eligibility, a player must draw all seven cards within on of the three sections.
