It’s not exactly the yellow brick road but it is a road that leads to a lesser-known area of the Osage Beach City Park which offers a new adventure to visitors. Mayor Richard Ross calls the area the “back park part of city park” which gives visitors a chance to enjoy the lake without having to battle the busy waterways of the lake’s main channel and other busier areas. “It’s a very beautiful place to set, it’s a beautiful place to fish. And we’ve created access to the water for those that might not have access to the water. There’s a fee for using one of the canoes or kayaks which are available from 7:00-3:30 Mondays through Fridays and from 9-5 Saturdays and Sundays.
