In many respects, the Lake of the Ozarks has come of age in the past two decades, and today, continues to draw visitors to nearby communities like Eldon Missouri, and has become Mid-America's premier family fun vacation destination.

After completion of the dam, tourist development began with the building tourist camps, hotels, cafes, garages, filling stations and hotels, local advertising promoted this new area north of the dam. In the late '50s Maple Street took on a completely different look being paved and complete with street lamps.

Eldon Missouri and Lake of the Ozarks attractions offer an endless list of things to do and see, for both the first-time and return visitor.
