Lake Expo is the Lake of the Ozarks’ trusted news source: locally owned, and covering news, boating and events since 2008. During the busy boating season, vacationers and second-home-owners turn to Lake Expo for everything they need to know. Our See & Do event calendar is the most comprehensive at the Lake, with weekly live music and event listings so you know where to go! Get live weather conditions as well as breaking weather updates. Learn what parts of the Lake are closed for major events. Check the gas prices at dozens of Lake marinas, updated for every weekend of the season. View photo galleries from Lake events: Harbor Hop, Poker Runs, Lake Race, AquaPalooza, Shootout, and aerial shots of families having fun on the water. Read the latest updates on major breaking stories, from crime to boat incidents to inside info about the newest developments coming to the Lake, on and off the water. Find the best places to eat and imbibe with our Eat & Drink section, full of food and drink reviews from local restaurants (on and off the water), and some recipes too!

During the “off-season,” we’re still on the news beat: often the biggest stories happen after the vacationers go home! From major business development stories to state-level laws and regulations that affect the Lake and boaters, we’re always watching and keeping our readers informed.

For those who live at the Lake of the Ozarks full-time, Lake Expo sets the story straight, while the social media rumor mill gets it wrong. Readers like our straightforward style, and appreciate that we really work to get both sides to every story. Then, when we want to share an opinion, we do so, and we label the column that way. The Lake Expo crew is supported by a fleet of freelancers and our friends around town who act as our eyes and ears. 

For part-timers, second-home-owners, and those who dream of moving to the Lake permanently, Lake Expo is their connection to the place they love. We hear from readers in Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska and beyond! They know what’s happening at their Lake house because of Lake Expo.

But whether part-timers or full-timers, we’re all part of the Lake community, this unique group of millions of people joined by the place we love: Lake of the Ozarks.
