Wright City locals love to dine in at restaurants such as the Wright Way Diner, Railhouse Pub, and StLouisianaQ Restaurant.

Outdoor Activities

Many homes have docks, making it easy to explore the water by boat, kayak, or canoe. Anglers on the lake can expect to catch bluegill, bass, crappie, and sunfish.

The lake is within 20 minutes of five golf courses: Incline Village, Bear Creek, the Golf Club of Wentzville, Innsbrook, and the Country Lake Golf Club.

If fishing and golfing aren’t your cup of tea, try something more exotic at the Big Joel’s Safari Petting Zoo and Educational Park, which houses over 500 animals across 60 different species. Visitors can educate themselves about the animals and also ride camels and ponies or feed the animals!
