Living At The Lake

 The Lake of the Ozarks is a community unlike any other. Residents get to enjoy a unique lifestyle that shifts seasonally from an exciting tourist destination in the summer to a quiet, calm community in the off-season. Throughout every season, the Lake Area residents remain a close-knit community dedicated to helping one another. Our community is famous for its generosity and willingness to give to those in need, and we love that! As the Lake Area Chamber of Commerce, we are here to support Lake residents and visitors alike. We are proud to support such a generous and giving community!

 Business At The Lake

 Business is booming at the Lake of the Ozarks, and our business scene is not governed solely by tourism. While tourist-oriented businesses do make up a large portion of our business landscape, the Lake Area is also home to hundreds of companies offering year-round services and products to Lake residents. We offer a variety of benefits to Chamber members to help them grow their businesses, including word-of-mouth referrals, networking socials and events, business spotlights in our e-newsletter, and more. We also offer an online business resource guide that provides helpful information to business owners who are just starting out.
