We are located in route from St. Louis to Lake of The Ozarks. About 40 mins to the Lake; 45 mins to Rolla, 50 mins to Jefferson City, or 45 mins to Fort Leonard Wood. So, you see we sit in the middle of no-where but can easily get to everywhere.
The Mo. Dept of Conservation has a nice little lake not far from the house. Joe Hanauer Lake at the Rinquelin Trail Lake Conservation Area. Just 6.6 miles or 20 minutes by way of the gravel roads. There you can fish or hike, maybe do a little bird watching.
