At Lake of the Ozarks, cold weather brings quieter days on the water.
But not everyone is deterred by the traditional off-season for boating: anglers are out in abundance, and boaters who don't need to winterize still take advantage of the occasional balmy day to enjoy a mid-winter outing.
For those determined winter-time boaters, the only question is: where do I fuel up? Here are some self-serve, pay-at-the-pump marinas on the Lake, open year-round.
