HA HA TONKA STATE PARK CASTLE RUINS Located near Camdenton, Mo on the Niangua Arm of the Lake of the Ozarks. Beautiful trails for a day of hiking but I would drive up to the Castle. There is a stairway to the top but very steep. The castle and other ruins built at the turn-of-the-20th-century by a prominent Kansas City businessman. Other attractions the park offers include sinkholes, natural bridges, caves and a beautiful running stream. HA HA TONKA was named by the American Indians meaning ‘Laughing Waters’ .
