Safety at night:Moderate
The Lake of the Ozarks, in general, is a fairly safe area to visit. However, it is important to exercise caution, especially during the night. While there are well-lit areas around Lake of the Ozarks that can be navigated quite safely, there are also secluded areas that may pose risk. It is always prudent to be aware of your surroundings, avoid dimly lit places and steer clear of less crowded areas during the night for your own safety. Whether or not you are by the waterfront or inland, do not hesitate to ask for help if need be. Also consider using a reliable cab service if you're traveling around late at night.
