Saturday, October 11, 2025, 9 a.m. - 7 p.m. (Varies based on location)

WHERE: Various locations around the Lake

Draw cards at more than 40 locations around the Lake of the Ozarks to make a winning poker hand in the Harbor Hop. Enter at any of the Harbor Hop locations and enjoy the stops around the Lake before turning in your hand by 7 p.m.

To obtain a hand, sign up and pay an optional $20 donation (per seven-card hand). A player may enter more than once. The 1st card is drawn at the checkpoint where the hand is purchased. 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. An optional 8th bonus card can be drawn for an additional $5.

The completed hand is turned in at the checkpoint where the 7th card is drawn. To qualify, a hand must be turned in by 7:00 pm the day of Harbor Hop. Winners will be notified by mail. Prizes are based on entry donations. The Lake of the Ozarks Convention & Visitor Bureau will retain 60% for administering the program and promoting Lake of the Ozarks. The remaining 40% will be paid to the participants in the form of gift certificates.
