No flights, no fuss — just unforgettable memories.

  2. Wineries of the Ozarks - Mathany Family Vineyards has a great selection and you might be able to catch Rosa's Cantina playing! Cheers to a wine trail that feels like Napa’s cool cousin. Try Seven Springs or Shawnee Bluff for a wine-and-view combo.


  3. Float Trips on the Niangua River - Mother Nature's Riverfront Retreat has you covered with rentals, festivals and full moon float trips. Nothing says “girls trip” like a lazy river, laughs, and a cooler full of snacks.


  4. Boutique Shopping in Camdenton - the downtown district has some great locally owned shops like Ozark Cookie Company and Pinch of Happiness. From antiques to artisan goods, this town has the cutest small shops for unique finds.




  5. Margaritaville - Driftwood Spa Day - hold your hats gals! This is an award winning spa, perfect for a quick pick me up or an all day affair. Massage, facial, hot stone treatment? Yes, please. This is the recharge moment you deserve.

  6. Dinner & Live Music at The Fish & Co.  End the night lakeside with good food, good tunes, and maybe even a dance break.


  7. Play and Stay at one of the original Lake of the Ozarks resorts - Rippling Waters Resort. You'll never find better hospitality than here. Kick back with lake views, a cozy cabin, and sunset golden hour for the camera roll.

Explore Thunder Mountain Park

Image
The most scenic cave tour in Missouri is surrounded by the natural beauty of Thunder Mountain Park .  This incredible Lake of the Ozarks attraction  covers hundreds of acres.  It spreads over more than a mile of Lake of the Ozraks shoreline, a mile of highway frontage along Old Missouri Route 5, and all the acreage in between.  That is a lot of nature to be explored! Establishing the park Thunder Mountain Park was established in 1950 in order to protect the caves within it.  The amazing colors and incredible onyx formations inside of Bridal Cave  are all formed by minerals from rain water that seeps into the ground. This is a process called deposition.  Preserving the natural state of the park above the cave prevents any changes to the surface area, which could have a detrimental impact on the deposition process.  Protecting the surface area protects the water quality, which in turn protects the cave.     Aerial view of Thunde...

The History of Bridal Cave

Bridal Cave has a very interesting past.  It's story goes back long before the Lake of the Ozarks was created.  As early as 8,000 BC, Native Americans were using caves in the area for shelter, and more than likely Bridal Cave was one of those used.  We will begin this tale with the first organized exploration over 150 years ago of what is now known as one the best attractions at the Lake of the Ozarks . Bridal Cave Visitors Center, 1968 1856   The first organized exploration of portions of Bridal Cave is recorded.  B.D. Dodson is credited with this feat.  The next major exploration is done by S.W. Burke four years later.   1894 Over 5400 acres of land is purchased by Colonel R.G. Scott.  That area is now known as Ha Ha Tonka State Park, and it includes Bridal Cave.  Colonel Scott is very impressed and wants to know how it got the name Bridal Cave, so he begins researching the subject.  He is credited for bein...

Stalactites & Stalagmites - Which is Which?

Image
Caves in Missouri , as well as around the world, are filled with stalactites and stalagmites.  Everyone has heard of these, but most people have trouble remembering which is which.  Today's Bridal Cave blog will hopefully help you to remember once and for all which one hangs from the ceiling and which one hangs from the floor.  We'll even teach you some interesting facts about how both are formed.   There are a couple of different ways that people use to help them keep these two types of formations straight.  Stalactites are fixed "tight" to the ceiling, and stalagmites "might" trip you when you walk.  Another trick is to use the spelling. StalaCtite has a "C" like the Ceiling from which it hangs, and stalaGmites have a "G" like the Ground they grow on.  You may think these ideas sound corny, but we bet at least one of them will stick with you and you will always remember! Speleothem Now to get a little more technical.  The wor...
