HA-HA TONKA DAY, JULY 7TH


Our boys spent a day with several of their friends (while the Nails were here from Indianapolis) at Ha-Ha Tonka State Park and the surrounding area. They had a fantastic time.


Missouri's State Parks are some of the most wonderful places to visit. Ha-Ha Tonka is about 3,700 acres of beautiful Ozark scenery. The name Ha-Ha Tonka supposedly means "laughing waters" in the Osage Indian language and refers to the very large spring at the park, which feeds into Lake of the Ozarks.

Also at the park are the ruins of a "castle" built by a wealthy Missouri business man at the turn of the century. The castle burned in 1942, and all that remain are the picturesque stone walls. It sits on a high bluff overlooking the spring and the lake.
