Bridal Cave & Thunder Mountain Park

For the last three years, staff members at Bridal Cave & Thunder Mountain Park have been conducting historical research on the cave and the surrounding lake area. This information is being put together for a brand new lantern tour of America's most scenic cave tour beginning this summer 2017.

Colonel Scott was once the owner of 5,400 acres of land in the lake area, including parts of what is now Ha Ha Tonka State Park, Bridal Cave, and Thunder Mountain Park.

Just in case you didn't have a chance to make it to our unique wedding chapel at the Lake of the Ozarks this past weekend, we've got a few of the highlights for you in today's blog.

One of the couples that joined us were able to renew their vows on the 50th anniversary of their honeymoon at the Lake of the Ozarks. They even showed up with some old postcards and brochures from their visit as newlyweds.    If you combine the years of marriage between every couple that attended our annual event, a...
