 Should be a lot of fun for a very good cause!

"Downhill Ruckus" (America's Premier Zorbing Park) is coming to the Lake! What is Zorbing you ask? Zorbing is defined as "a sport in which the participant is secured inside an inner capsule in a large transparent ball, which is then rolled along the ground or down a hill."

Where is "Downhill Ruckus" located? From Osage Beach, head West on Highway 54, 3/4 of a mile past KK on the left. From Camdenton, take Highway 54 East, 1.9 miles past Y Road on the right.

"Downhill Ruckus" is currently under construction and should be opening this Spring. It could be a lot of fun!!!
