Since opening its doors on the shores of beautiful Lake Taneycomo, Lodge #2597 has been the heart of Forsyth, Missouri. Nestled along US-160, this welcoming Elks Lodge offers more than just a place to meet. Here, members and visitors gather for lively game nights, family-friendly events, and meaningful community service projects that make a real difference. The lodge's RV parking area has quickly become a favorite among travelers, featuring level sites with 30-amp service, water, and sewer connections, with plans underway to expand to four spots and add 50-amp power. Whether you're a longtime Elks member, a local family looking for wholesome activities, or an RVer passing through the Ozarks, you'll find genuine hospitality and a true sense of belonging. The Elks motto, "People First," isn't just words here—it's how every guest is treated.

The lodge also provides networking opportunities, leadership development, and a place to build lifelong friendships through shared service and fun.
