Located on Route U off West Highway 54 south of Macks Creek in the Edith area, The Whistle is an area of shallows that are part of the three-mile-long ‘Lake Niangua’ created by Tunnel Dam on the upper end of the Big Niangua River. Gravel bars make great base for swimming. Have a picnic or put in with your kayak or canoe here as well.

To step back in time and enjoy a summer’s day, travel Swinging Bridges Road for an old-fashioned swim in the creek. The two swinging bridges on this road connect Highway 42 in Miller County, west of Brumley, and Route A in Camden County that leads to Highway 54 in Linn Creek. In addition to the cool historic bridges, these sites - one on the Grand Glaize Creek and the other on Mill Creek - are also great swim spots.

Lake of the Ozarks State Park also has two great public beaches - Public Beach #1 and Grand Glaize Beach. For swimming, our favorite is PB #1 located near the 9.5 mile marker of the Grand Glaize Arm or off of Highway 134 by land. Regular bacteriological testing at this site has been within recommended levels all season. In addition to a protected cove location that’s great for swimming, there’s a marina where you can also rent canoes, kayaks and paddle boats.
