The cave was first explored by owner Arthur Browning in 1925 and opened to public tours in 1927. The cave naturally maintains a temperature between 56-60 degrees. Just 37 miles away from the Undercliff restaurant, we found the coolest place in the region – Bluff Dwellers Cave in Noel, Missouri. The restaurant today is still located into the same cliff, but has a wonderful covered deck and live music on weekends.Īfter lunch, with the temperature soaring around 100 degrees, it is time for our last stop on this day trip. He literally built the store into and under the cliffs right into the rocks.

Along a set of railroad tracks and the Shoal Creek, Ab named his store The Under Cliff.

This historic restaurant is called Undercliff Grill & Bar and was once a general store operated by an entrepreneur named Ab McConnel. This popular swimming and fishing spot located on Shoal Creek is a must-stop if you are in the area and less than a one-hour drive from Grand Lake.Īfter a quick selfie, we were off to one of our favorite lunch spots on Shoal Creek in the small town of Tipton Ford, Missouri. We left our Grand Lake house on Monkey Island early and made our first stop – the Grand Falls natural waterfalls in Joplin, Missouri. This past weekend was just one of those weekends. We call them day trips.ĭay trips for us are when we can leave early in the morning and be within an hour of our first stop and after that another stop and so on and so forth. However, in the heat of the summer, on some weekends Julie and I just want to get out of the sun and heat and do something a little different. This has been a great summer aboard “Doctor’s Orders” located at Grand Lake O’ the Cherokees.
