Aurora Springs is a small, storied community with roots in late-1800s resort culture, where mineral waters once drew visitors seeking rejuvenation. Today, residents enjoy a peaceful, rural setting with quick access to the coves of the Lake of the Ozarks and the conveniences of nearby Eldon. Set within Miller County, it offers a relaxed pace, tree-lined backroads, and an easygoing rhythm that appeals to both full-time residents and weekenders.
Outdoor enthusiasts can roam lakeside trails, beaches, and campgrounds at the state’s largest park, Lake of the Ozarks State Park, or explore the natural bridges and castle ruins at Ha Ha Tonka State Park. A quick drive to Bagnell Dam offers panoramic views and a look at the region’s engineering icon. Local history comes to life at the Miller County Historical Society Museum, where exhibits trace pioneer days, lake development, and the area’s spa-town legacy.
Families are served by the well-regarded Eldon R-I School District, known for robust academics, FFA and arts programs, and community-centered athletics. Healthcare needs are covered through the regional network at Lake Regional Health System, with clinics and hospital services around the lake. Housing ranges from classic farmhouses to lake-area getaways, and commuting remains straightforward for work, school, and recreation.
