LAKE OF THE OZARKS, Mo. — Boaters came out en masse to enjoy perfect spring weather for the 25th Annual Spring Harbor Hop, last Saturday. The Lake of the Ozarks Convention & Visitor Bureau says the event was by all measures a great success.

The Harbor Hop is a lake-wide poker game, in which participants pick up playing cards in order to build a winning poker hand and become eligible to win prizes. Players donate $20 per seven-card hand and start their run to draw their first card at any of the sponsoring restaurants, and marinas along the Lake’s Main Channel, the Big Niangua and Gravois arms.

This year there were 1,169 hands sold and 38 different sponsors. That plus the spectacular weather combined to make the Spring hop a very successful event, the CVB said.  

“This event is a great opportunity for visitors and locals to get out on the Lake,” said Heather Brown, CVB's Executive Director. “At the Harbor Hop, we can guarantee a good time. We invite everyone to come join us for the Fall Hop on October 8, 2022 and enjoy a day out on the water.”

The Spring Harbor Hop traditionally is held the first weekend of May to kick off the summer boating season. The Lake of the Ozarks CVB sponsors the Spring Harbor Hop as well as the Fall Harbor Hop held the second weekend in October to extend the boating season. Other sponsors include the Lake of the Ozarks Marine Dealers Association and waterfront restaurants.
