Lake of the Ozarks Parasailing
Sure, jet skiing is a thrill and a helicopter ride can take you to the heights, but only when you parasail can you sit in solitude with the birds as your only company and gaze down at the majesty and beauty that the Lake of the Ozarks is. Your skin will prickle, your heart will race, and you will forget all about it as you look down at everyone who wishes they were you. When you parasail, you are actually flying. The dream of Icharus with wings that won't melt in the warm rays of the sun.
The only thing bad about parasailiing over the Lake of the Ozarks is that eventually you have to come down. Up to four people can share this adventure at heights up to five hundred feet and if you want to go out with a splash you can actually opt to drop into the water from the heights. Great views, cool landings, and total safety mean that anyone can do this. From ages two to a hundred, the waters and the air have been tested, retested, and tested again.

Parasailing at the Lake of the Ozarks -- Continue
Unlike skydiving or hang gliding, no experience is necessary for this ultimate adventure. All you need is the will to strap on the harness and say 'Go!'. Of course that's not easy and more than a few people have backed out at the last minute only to spend the rest of their lives wondering what it might have been like. Chicken skin is a small price to pay for this experience and the actual price in dollars and cents won't hurt you either. For just $35 and up per person you can see why the dream of the ages is totally worth it.
The sport started in tropical locations but now you can see the temperate waters of the largest man made lake in the Midwest spread out below you as you feel the wind beneath your wings. It's not uncommon for those coming down to fish out their wallets and demand a second round, so make sure you have at least enough cash for two gos with you. In terms of safety, the professionals that operate these exhilarating experiences have some of the best safety records in the nation. You can force yourself to let go and live totally in the moment as you see shadows of the lakes mythical fish gliding slowly below you.
Trips leave early or late but it's best to make sure that you have a spot reserved in advance. All necessary equipment is included in your adventure and many of the resorts offer packages that make this just one part of a fun filled day you will never forget.
