One Day on the Lake (LOTO)
 

My husband and I are headed to Table Rock Lake for a week from Wisconsin. I'm thinking of leaving a bit early and driving to LOTO - spend two nights, one day on LOTO before heading to TRL. Any recommendations on where to stay and how to enjoy our only day on a big, big lake. Also - we have an antique 17' Century Resorter - Table Rock was nice and calm last time we were there - is LOTO similar or are we asking for trouble launching our small boat on the big lake? Thanks in advance for your help!

If its during the week, your boat will be fine, but on the weekend in the main channel it will be scary if you're not used to that kind of water.

Where to stay depends on what you are looking to do. You can get 1BR condo's and a boat slip for $100 night at Heron Bay at the 20.5mm. I have a few freinds with rental units there.

In the middle of week you should be OK. May have a couple roller come off a cruiser or two. Check out VRBO, lots of nice spots to stay and restaurants to visit on the water.

Yep, VRBO, put in Osage Beach, it's the easiest area to get in and out of and you're boat will be fine during the week, preferably not a Friday though, it starts getting busy early for the weekends and if you do stay for the weekend just take your time.

Call Dave Place he will set you up in a condo 573-692-5003 he runs paradise vaction rentals. You should be fine during the week, plenty to do and see. Have fun.

We are off to LOTO soon as well. We have found Point Randall Resort to fit all of our needs. They have great docks and their own private boat launch. They are tucked in a mile long cove off the main channel at the 3 mm, with in 20 min you have lots of great places to eat and drink at. www.pointrandallresort.com or 1-573-365-2081, the owners Michael and Paulette are great. If you stay tell them Matt& Ambers say hello.

BB, don't know when you're coming down and I see you're staying up by the Dam, there's a new watering hole that's going to open before the end of the month called Nauti Rooster, it's located up by the cruise boats at the Dam.
Dale Blue is opening it and he's a great guy that's been entertaing us FOLKS for years, you might want to try it out, I'm sure you can't miss it, have fun. :evilb:

I didnt know about this place starting up, gonna have go check it out!! There aren't a whole lot of spots in that area. Thanks for the info!

Nauti Rooster is not open yet. Maybe a few weeks or so.

I can't wait to try this place out. is it going to be located on the the "old strip" area? Is there any connection to nauti marine?
