Sailing is very popular on this lake. There are motor boats too, but definitely a lot of sail boats. They also teach sailing on this lake.

Stockton Lake Inn and Holiday Inn: Stockton's Best Kept Secret
ariesgirl Says: Spoil yourself and relax with out over paying to stay at the higher priced places. Just 5 minutes from the boat dock, and close to the beautiful lake, you'll love the cozy rooms and great staff. With pool, cable t.v., ice, fridge, and the cleanest rooms in town, it's worth...

brdwtchr Says: I like the paint job they did on our pool at the Holliday Motel, don't you? The hotel office is just beyond the pool and you can see it through the fence. The Holliday Motel and Lake Stockton Inn are so close together that it is more efficient to run both hotels from one...
Don't be surprised if you call...
brdwtchr Says: Don't be surprised if you call the Lake Stockton Inn and I answer the phone. I am part owner and work there some times as manager. If I am not there ask for Tim and tell him you know me. I won't tell you how great the hotel is because I am obviously biased. Call around and...
brdwtchr Says: Bongo's Bistro is near the town square where highways 32 and 39 meet. I was surprised that a town this size would have such a fine restaurant. The sandwiches and steaks there are excellent and the prices reasonable. That is VT member TYCOON007 in the picture. He and I went...

brdwtchr Says: This diner is between the Lake Stockton Inn and Holliday Motel. I have gotten up early before starting my work at the hotel and gone here for coffee, biscuits, and gravy. They make a wonderful biscuits and gravy that only costs a little but will stick to your ribs all day.
The best deal for your buck, Jessie's Old Place has the best deals on packaged liquor/beer in the area. With bait, snacks, cold beer, ice and a fun loving famliy waiting to hear your tales, stop by just to say hi, they'd love to see you.
What to buy: It's all good there at Jessie's. And what's even better the rumor is they are opening their second store.
What to pay: Only you are in control of your wallet, but with their selection, remember to drink in moderation.

Helpfulness
On highway 32 there are signs like this. Local civic groups and businesses adopt stretches of highway and take responsibility for picking up all the trash along side of the roads there.

Woods is the only grocery store for about 25 miles in any direction. For that reason they charge higher prices. I found prices at the Walmart in Bolivar to be much lower. To save money I suggest you buy groceries and take them with you to Stockton. I also found dairy products past the expiration date both times I went to Woods.

brdwtchr Says: Geese near the dam for Stockton Lake. After September 11th the road to the dam was closed. Don't know if it will reopen or not.
Favorite thing: The people. Then the lake, fishing, hunting and just a great place to relax and have fun. It's a slow pace here in Stockton and we love that. It's downhome charm and affordable place to live.
Fondest memory: For me it was my children's first home. And as they say if you don't like the weather wait a day and see.

Visitors usually go to Stockton, Missouri to go to Stockton lake. I usually go there to work at a couple of small hotels I am part owner of.
