If you haven't been there in 30 yrs you're going to shocked, the most littered shoreline of docks, Condos and over priced properties........... but hey 600 bucks for a 4 hour toon rental is a good deal........ JMO.....
Or as we call it, Developed fun and adventure. Where else in the country will you find 200+ restaurants/resorts you can boat to and some of the most beautiful properties in the country right on the 1500+ miles of frontage? And.... easily one of the lakes with the most performance orientated hardware in the world.
I don't know what you consider expensive, but I would put our prices and taxes against any other place of its caliber in the country?
But for those that want quite and boring, I agree, LOTO IS NOT IT! But isn't that the point!
Of course, Table Rock is just a few hours South for those that like the opposite of LOTO.... Yea, I'm a funny guy!!!!!!!
