Adventure Destinations Await in Benton County
This article is presented in partnership with Benton County Tourism and Recreation.
Home to Truman Lake and the Osage Arm of Lake of the Ozarks, Benton County is a dream destination where opportunities for exploration and adventure are but a short drive from the hustle and bustle of the big city. From cruising beautiful back country roads to boating, fishing, kayaking, and waterskiing on more than one-hundred-thousand surface acres on two of Missouri’s largest lakes, adventures on land and water can be had.
On land, hiking, biking, and ATV parks call to those looking for firm-footed fun. Altogether, Truman State Park, Drake Harbor Recreational Trails, Truman Lake Mountain Bike and Hiking Park, the Butterfield Overland Stagecoach Route, and large ATV parks ensure landlubbers don’t run out of acres on which to enjoy their favorite sports. If golfing is the goal, Triple Creek Golf Course in Cole Camp and Shawnee Bend Golf Course in Warsaw offer breathtaking Ozarks views while chasing the golf ball across the greenways.
