Public meeting planned at Lake of the Ozarks State Park Oct. 18

The public is invited to attend an informational meeting at Lake of the Ozarks State Park near Osage

Beach on Friday, Oct. 18. The meeting will start at 6 p.m. in the Public Beach No. 1 Shelter House, located off Highway 134.

Representatives from the park will be on hand to discuss recent accomplishments and the park’s 2013 State Parks Youth Corps involvement. Representatives from the facility will also provide information on future plans and answer questions. Visitors are invited to share comments and suggestions. This informational meeting is part of an ongoing effort by Missouri State Parks to ensure citizens have input regarding the facilities and services offered in state parks and historic sites.

A visit to Lake of the Ozarks State Park is also a great opportunity to log miles as a part of the Governor’s 100 Missouri Miles challenge. To celebrate Missouri’s distinction as the “Best Trails State” and to encourage Missourians to enjoy the outdoors, Gov. Jay Nixon and First Lady Georganne Nixon are inviting Missourians to join them in completing 100 Missouri Miles of outdoor physical activity by the end of the year.

For more information and to take the Challenge, visit 100MissouriMiles.com. Participants can also share adventures, post photos and learn about upcoming events by connecting with 100 Missouri Miles on Facebook and Twitter. 

The Public Beach No. 1 Shelter House is located 5 miles south of Hwy 42 on Hwy 134.
