A Drone Flew High Above An Uninhabited Community In Missouri And Caught The Most Incredible Footage
In some ways, drone videos provide us with an even more unique look at a destination, capturing images that our cameras just can’t. If you do a bit of searching on YouTube, you’ll find a ton of drone videos shot in Missouri, from aerial views of the Ozarks to tours of Table Rock Lake. The following drone footage gives us a glimpse into an uninhabited community in Missouri that had big promise but, alas, was then abandoned.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/
Near Table Rock Lake in Branson, Indian Ridge Resort held huge promise when its construction was announced in 2006. Plans for the resort were grand and, if followed, would cost more than $1.5 billion. Indian Ridge Resort would include a hotel, shops, a conference center, a water park, homes, and condos, the latter of which were designed to be vacation homes.
Some homes were built on the land near Table Rock Lake, but construction quickly stopped when the recession arrived. What would follow would land people in jail for bank fraud and would leave Indian Ridge Resort abandoned.
Some of the homes have been torn down, and an entrance to the development has already been constructed. In 2018, plans were released for a similar development to what would have been Indian Ridge Resort. The plans for the new development, tentatively known as The Ridge at Table Rock Lake, include homes and space for businesses and healthcare facilities.
The following video, shot by The Gadget Guy on YouTube, provides an aerial view of Indian Ridge Resort. Click below to watch.
