Lake of the Ozarks Helicopter Rides
From the ground, the Lake of the Ozarks is impressive but it's not until you are high above it that you start to realize exactly how massive the body of water that sits behind the Bagnell Dam really is. With more than 55,000 acres of water surface area and hundreds of miles of wilderness surrounding it, the Lake of the Ozarks helicopter tours affords you an opportunity to see just how vast and unspoiled the Ozarks are.
There are quite a few helicopter companies to choose from and when you decide that it's time to take a chopper trip, you want to make sure that you are flying with experienced and reliable tour operators with a clean safety record and plenty of first hand knowledge of the region they can share with you. Part of the joy of a bird's eye view of the Ozarks is having someone with you who can point out the many golf courses, shopping areas, hidden parts of the lake, restaurants, wineries, and unspoiled natural features.

The winding shores of the lake, the more than a dozen towns surrounding it, several State Parks, natural resource land, and don't forget to have a look at the more than 3000 boats that can gather together in the Party Cove. All of it adds up to a day that will be as fun as it is memorable. One concern people often have is whether they will be able to afford a helicopter trip, but with prices that start for as low as $25 per hour these amazing experiences are within everyone's range.
Of course if you want to take a longer customized trip with a private charter, prices go up quickly and start around $200. Well worth it if you have specific areas you want to see from the air. One favorite piece of eye candy visitors love is to see the gigantic Bagnell Dam and the huge power lines which lead from it to points throughout the state. It's easy to forget that when you flip a switch in Missouri you are utilizing energy created by the harnessing of the Osage River. The fascinating history and architecture of the dam and the bridges which span the arms of the lake can best be appreciated by helicopter.
A helicopter trip over the Lake of the Ozarks will stay with you for the rest of your life.
