The Fugitive Beach is the ideal place to head to on a hot Missouri day. You will find the beach along Highway 72, about 8 miles south of Rolla. Great for a family day out, the beach offers more than an acre of water, a soft sandy beach where you can relax and lots of fun for children of all ages. There is a shallow 4-foot swimming area close to the beach and further out the water becomes deeper and access is only allowed with a life-jacket. There are life-guards on duty, a fun water slide, a cliff-jumping platform and a bar and grill. There are several shaded cabanas which can be booked in advance.
