Best time to go to LOTO
 
Thinkin about making the trip down to LOTO from Michigan sometime this summer. What's the best Weekend to go down there? Don't wanna make the 1000 mile trip and it not be worth it.

Shootout The week of Shootout is an entire week packed full of events. There is a reason it is voted number one event in the country year after year

Seriously, it is that good!!!!! http://www.lakeoftheozarksshootout.org/schedule.html

The Support Our Troops run is a pretty awesome time! Done that few times and it's always been worth it.

Shootout......or any weekend, they're all great.

Alright you guys convinced me into checkin out the shootout haha. I appreciate the feedback. Anyone have any marina recommendations I can get a slip at for the weekend?

You looking for a condo or hotel.................. I would go on VRBO and get a condo close to the Shootout, it's at Capt. Ron's which is at the 35MM, so a place anywhere from 20MM and 39MM would be perfect, but to assure of getting a place I would reserve it sooner than later, at lot of the condos have slips that go with them.............see you there.

Plenty of availability at both Land's End and Parkview Bay condos. Both are near Dog Days at the 19 MM which is a nice somewhat "tweener" spot to be able to get to the Shootout without traveling too awful far and a short ride to a lot of the lake's on-water hot spots.

Having done the Shootout since around 2001 and participating in the SOTPR 3 different times I have to say I'd give an edge to the Shootout.

Coordinate your personal schedule with either: Support the Troops, 4th of July, or the LOTO Shootout,,,, you would have a great time with your family and friends on any of these LOTO weekends

The Ledges is a good rental condo complex not far from boat ramps, grocery stores and almost all units have covered slips in a protected cove.

Ditto. Unfortunately I only get to LOTO 2-3 times per year, but it's always been the MWBP Poker Run and Shootout.

If you head down for the Shootout, we are having a shootout raffle the weekend before. It would he break up the drive. Working on lodging and dockage in Peoria IL. Henry Yacht club shootout raffle thanks Rodney
