Why you should go…

Ha Ha Tonka is a karst landscape on the Niangua arm of Lake of the Ozarks, full of caves, sinkholes, bluffs and rocky glades. Its signature sight is the shell of a stone castle that Kansas City businessman Robert Snyder began in 1905, finished by his sons and gutted by fire in 1942. Trails and boardwalks link the ruins with lake overlooks, a massive natural bridge and Missouri's 12th-largest spring. You can also fish, paddle and picnic.
