This event shows your bravery as you support local Special Olympic athletes.

This year, there will be a pre-party that takes place between the Strut and the Plunge. There will be a Chili Cook-Off. The entry fee for the Chili Cook-Off is $50. The cost to eat is $5 but all Plunge Participants can sample for free. Along with the Chilli Cook-Off, you will have the opportunity to interact with the athletes, fun entertainment, and a silent auction.


Raising Money for a GREAT Cause

The money raised for this event truly goes to a great cause. In 2018, Lake of the Ozarks Plunge had 282 plungers and raised more than $120,400! Ideally, you already have your team formed and you've been raising money all week from your family and friends but you can join the plunge the day of the event for $75. If you're not taking the Plunge, you are still more than welcome to attend the event and support from the sidelines.

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

Image
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...
