Lake of the Ozarks, Reservoir in Missouri, United States.
Lake of the Ozarks extends over 54,000 acres with 1,150 miles of shoreline, forming a serpentine shape through the northern Ozarks region.
Construction of Bagnell Dam began in 1929 and concluded in 1931, creating what was then the largest artificial lake in the United States.
The lake's winding form resembles a dragon shape, which influences local naming conventions and community celebrations throughout the region.
The reservoir maintains a consistent water level throughout the year, enabling the development of permanent structures and facilities along its extensive shoreline.
The lake contains numerous underwater structures from eight submerged towns that were flooded during its creation in the early 1930s.
