FunLake.com 5Lake NorthIt all began more than 80 years ago on the north side of the Lake, home of Bagnell Dam. Union Electric, now Ameren Missouri, managed the massive project from Willmore Lodge on Bagnell Dam Boulevard in Lake Ozark. Built in 1930, the 6,500-square-foot, Adirondack-style lodge, constructed of western white pine logs, was first assembled in Oregon, marked, taken apart, transported to the Ozarks by rail and reassembled at its present site. Today, Willmore Lodge, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, houses the offices of Lake Area Chamber of Commerce and a fascinating museum about the Osage River, the incredible engineering project that became Bagnell Dam and the development of the Lake of the Ozarks. Willmore Lodge is one of the many attractions in the north area of the Lake, which includes the communities of Lake Ozark, Bagnell, Eldon, Four Seasons and Rocky Mount. Beyond Willmore Lodge on Business Highway 54, the historic Bagnell Dam Strip has delighted generations of families with its nostalgic appeal, shopping, arcades and diverse attractions.
