Boat Ramp Closing For Construction: The City of Lake Ozark announces the temporary closure of the public boat launch located on Bluebird Drive to allow for demolition and reconstruction of the boat ramp. The closure will be in effect from January 12, 2026, through February 16, 2026, weather permitting. Hardrives Excavation LLC will perform the reconstruction work during this period. The ramp area will reopen to the public once all work has been completed and safety inspections are finalized. The upgraded boat ramp will feature significant improvements designed to better serve the boating community. The new ramp will be four feet wider and 13 feet longer than the current facility, providing enhanced access and maneuverability for boaters. Additionally, the concrete slab will be constructed with increased thickness to ensure greater durability and extend the lifespan of the ramp well beyond that of the current structure. "We appreciate all of the work everyone has done to help these upgrades come to fruition," said Mayor David Ridgely. "Our hope is that the new public boat ramp will be a great community asset for years to come." Winter weather conditions may affect the construction schedule. The City will provide updates on the project timeline as needed. Boaters are encouraged to plan accordingly and seek alternative launch facilities during the closure period. For questions regarding the project or alternative boat launch locations, please contact Matt Michalik, Public Works Director, at (573) 365-5378 or pwd@cityoflakeozark.net.

City and LOPD Named Non-Profit of the Year

Last month, the City of Lake Ozark and Lake Ozark Police Department were honored to be named the 2025 Lake Area Chamber of Commerce Non-Profit of the Year.

Over 200 lake area business owners and community members were present to vote on this award and others, and we are grateful for the recognition given by the community we serve.

Of this award, City Administrator Harrison Fry stated, “This is the result of years’ worth of intentional effort to continue finding ways to better serve our community and the folks who come visit every year. Through the summer, the men and women of LOPD have a tough task in front of them but they are supported every step of the way by our mayor and aldermen, and the members of this community we call home.”
