There’s just something about summers at the lake.

BIG news from our corner of the Ozarks! 🎢

We were on hand today as Silver Dollar City unveiled Miner’s Mountain Express, an all-new family coaster opening in spring 2027!

Inspired by the real history of the Ozarks and Silver Dollar City's Marvel Cave, the new coaster will feature more than half a mile of track and become the longest family coaster in the Midwest.

It’s another exciting reason to plan a trip to the Table Rock Lake area in 2027, and we love seeing the Ozarks story continue to grow in such a big way.

Before school starts and schedules fill up, make time for one more summer adventure.

Spend the day boating on Table Rock Lake, floating the James River or doing a little of both. Add in one more sunset and some family time, and you have a pretty great way to wrap up summer.

Before the day comes to an end, we pause to remember the freedom we enjoy, the sacrifices that made it possible and the beauty of this country we call home.

Happy birthday, America. ❤️🤍💙
