It's a booger with a 21' Ranger on a trailer, at least when the summer crowd is in town. Hopefully the other part is of some benefit.

Thanks for posting this information Dennis. I have been wondering why they used pavers on the parking lot instead of asphalt. Great project with great benefits to the lake!

Pretty forward thinking for a small place like Kimberling City. They must have used some of their traffic ticket revenue to fund part of the cost. Lord knows they have enough cops pulling people over.

And I thought it was just a plain ole parking lot.........interesting read........and as mentioned above, a little more thought should've gone into the layout, and the fact there may be a couple (:-P) vehicles and watercraft trailers coming thru there.

Leon said a good part of it was grant money.

Wonder how many $50's (grant money ) of our tax dollars was used........

So it's like cobblestone now?

Not quite. They look more like fancy patio blocks, but obviously designed for the purpose.

I like the looks of the surface from the highway, but haven't been in the parking lot since they finished the project.
