Lake of the Ozarks Daily Digest Saturday, May 23, 2026
Ty's Take
Memorial Day weekend's looking like a gift—sunshine instead of the rain they were calling for, which means the lake's about to get crowded in the best way possible. But here's the thing: before you fire up the boat and head out there, do those safety checks. Every year somebody skips them and ends up making a phone call they didn't plan on. With the Oasis getting ready to draw families who've never spent serious time on the water, and all the weekend warriors coming out of winter hibernation, it's worth ten minutes with the engine, the lines, and the fuel. The weather's cooperating. Make sure your boat is too.
