LAKE OF THE OZARKS, Mo. — As fall settles in, many waterfront establishments at the Lake wind down after a busy summer—while others stay open, welcoming late-season boaters, anglers, and landlubbers looking to enjoy a waterfront meal or drink in the cooler weather.
See the list below for local waterfront bars and restaurants, and whether they are open or closed for the season.
