About Paradise Marina & Watersports
Paradise Marina & Watersports sits at the 0 mile marker of the Lake of the Ozarks, directly beside Bagnell Dam in Lake Ozark, and packs more variety into one dock than nearly any operator on the lake. The lineup covers boat rentals, waverunners, kayaks, and paddleboards, plus wakeboards, skis, tubes, and aqua mats for groups that want a full watersports day from a single check-in.
The headline attraction is parasailing. Flights lift guests high above the lake for panoramic views of the Ozark shoreline, the dam, and the boat traffic threading the channel below, with solo and tandem options and a heritage of parasail operations at the lake stretching back decades. For visitors who prefer to stay closer to the surface, the marina runs thirty-minute family boat rides, offers fishing charters, and maintains a designated swim area off the docks.
A gas dock rounds out the marina services, making Paradise a practical stop for passing boaters as well as a destination in its own right. Its position at the historic Bagnell Dam Strip end of the lake puts guests steps from arcades, restaurants, and shops between sessions on the water — an easy anchor point for a family day that mixes flying, floating, and paddling.
