I will update this review later, but in short, what an amazing hunt club! Bill & Wendy (owners),…read moreare the nicest, most hospitable hosts! We were greeted with a smile and a hot cup of coffee. They use great guides, and well trained dogs! Their focus is on an enjoyable hunt, with safety of the hunters and dogs being prevalent! Our day was spent hunting qual, pheasant and chuckers. After a few hours in the field in the morning, we returned to the lodge for a delicious bowl of chili made by their sweet daughter, Hannah. Then it was back out to the field for a full afternoon of more amazing hunting. The guides filmed all of the field time on GoPros, which after editing, was subsequently emailed to all of us. At the end of the day, Bill and one of the guides, cleaned all of our birds, and sent us happily on our way! This was a great day! We will definitely be back!

What a gem! Gorgeous lake and a clean safe beach with lifeguards and tons of water activities…read more(trampoline, diving board, giant blow up recreation thing). I just wanted to find a good old fashioned lake in driving distance and this hit the spot. 7$ per adult for use all day (you can leave and come back). I think kids are 5. It was just my partner and I and there's plenty of space for what ends up being naturally divided into adult/kid spaces. We went on a scorching hot Wednesday and were pleasantly surprised by a relatively quiet beach. They have showers, and an indoor shop with food and drinks. No alcohol. This is a great old fashioned beach. Highly recommend.

We absolutely love this beach! I feel like it's a hidden gem. We live in St. Louis and it's only…read moreabout one hour and five minutes away. The beach has the floating obstacle course, sand for building Sandcastles,and a swing set. You can pay to bring a cooler in, but there's also food options. Available on site. It is cash only so beware.... But they have an ATM for people like me who never carry cash.

It was only $20 for a week long guest pass or $10/day if you don't plan staying in town long. This gym is awesome. Courtney at the front desk was super friendly and helpful and clearly knows what she's doing. The EPOC class they have at certain hours of the day is next level. Highly suggest checking them out if you're around this area either as a visitor or a local. 5 stars all around!

Unfortunately I think it's super pricey for a gym...$8.50 a visit if you're not a member and memberships aren't on the cheap side either. As a college student this is a little rough on the pockets but it's also the only (nice) gym in town, or near by. So when I go, I force myself to stay for awhile to at least try to get my moneys worth, but it is a day pass, so if you swam in the morning and came back for a class or to run later in the evening it would be utilized well.
