At Lake of the Ozarks, cooler weather brings quieter days on the water. As summer turns to fall, many marinas operate with reduced hours, and by winter, quite a few are closed until the spring.

(Note: Some other marinas are open in the winter, but may have limited hours or require you to call ahead for fuel.)
