Lake Area Event: 31st Annual Lake of the Ozarks Shootout

Lake of the Ozarks West Chamber is your source for events and happenings on the Lake of the Ozarks Westside, and the entire Lake of the Ozarks area.  This summer, we hope you can make it out to the 31st Annual Shootout and the many other Shootout events around the Lake of the Ozarks.  See what has been noted as “the largest unsanctioned boat race in the U.S.” and attend the many events occurring throughout the summer leading up to the big race!  These events are the perfect way to enjoy the boating season at the Lake of the Ozarks!

About the Shootout

What has now become a tradition for the past 31 years, began as the Lake Rescue Shootout in 1988.  This was an event in which local boats raced simply to see who was the fastest on the Lake.  Over the years, this event has grown exponentially and has also helped supplement the Lake Area Fire Departments water rescue efforts.  As of 2017, this event was able to surpass the $1 million mark of donations.
