The Mile Marker
Lake of the Ozarks · Daily
One email · Every morning · Five minutes

Know exactly where things stand at the Lake.

The Mile Marker is a free daily email that rounds up Lake of the Ozarks news: county government, schools, water and weather, road projects, and business openings and closings. Written for the people who live here, own here, and work here.

What a morning looks like

The whole Lake, before your second cup.

Local coverage keeps shrinking, and Lake news ends up scattered across a dozen Facebook groups, radio spots, and county PDFs. The Mile Marker pulls it into one plain read.

Water & Weather

Alerts that matter on the water, road conditions, and what the weekend looks like before you commit the boat.

County & Town

What Camden, Miller, and Morgan county government actually voted on, school news, and road projects on 54 and the side routes.

Business & Openings

Who's opening, who's closing, and what's changing on the Strip, the Parkway, and the coves in between.

Ty's Take

A short editor's note from a former small town newspaper editor whose family has been at the Lake for generations.
