Shootout Maps! Here's Where To Park, Where To Party, And Where To Float For The Lake's Boat Race

The Lake of the Ozarks Shootout draws tens of thousands of boaters to central Missouri for a one-of-a-kind festival of speed. But a prerequisite to Shootout fun is knowing where to go — and especially where to park.

Here's a look at the maps published today by the Shootout, and a quick rundown of what to know in each.

Shootout Street Party Parking Map

For Wednesday night’s Shootout Street Party, Bagnell Dam Boulevard will be closed to vehicle traffic basically all day — from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. — with multiple $20 parking options and shuttle transportation to the Strip.

VIP parking is available for $50, with designated handicapped parking at the School of the Osage Early Childhood Center.

Shootout Course Map

Racers will proceed down the course in a southwesterly direction, with the starting box near The Towers condos.

Spectators must remain at least 500 feet from the course, with numbered green buoys marking the spectator boundary and patrol boats controlling access.

The 37th Annual Lake of the Ozarks Shootout drew a flotilla like no other.
