Just curious, have a possible business proposition that would probably require a move into the midwest (omaha, kansas city, des moines). the thought of having to give up great lakes boating after finally getting back into it makes me sick. i love boating and being on the water, but dont want to have to trailer hours on end for a decent ride/nice water. how about some input from you guys out there.

LOTO Baby!

^This^

IF you moved to Kansas City which has the BEST BBQ, you are 2.5 hrs from Lake of the Ozarks (LOTO) and You will have a great time. Take a look at the forum for midwest or LOTO. Good Luck

LOTO is the best midwest boating. LOTO is about 6 hrs from Omaha or DesMoines and about 3 hrs from KC. We go to LOTO about 4 times a year.

Here in Omaha, the only place more than a ski lake is the Missourri River. River levels can vary a lot and so can the amount of debris in the water. It is pretty narrow and muddy, but plenty deep enough. River flooding this year has left 2 of the 3 marinas totally destroyed. It will be a while before they return to normal.

Decent boating in Omaha on the Missouri River, but nothing like the Great Lakes or LOTO. I moved from Omaha to St. Louis and now boat exclusively at LOTO which is about 2.5 hours away.

Grand lake O the Cherokees in Ok is a good lake

LOTO needs more Sabers.

I live in Ankeny, Ia ( a suburb of Des Moines)
We have a flood control reservior about a mile away.

It's not much, but it gets us on the water.

When we want to really boat, we go to LOTO or over to
Dubuque to the Mississippi river.
