Accessible
from multiple public and privately
owned locations just minutes to the
west of Branson, Table Rock Lake has
been delighting visitors and
residents alike since it was formed
by the damming of the White River in
1958. While visitors can find dozens
of places to stay and play along the
banks of Table Rock Lake, the area's
commercial developments have placed
a high priority on preserving the
scenic beauty of the natural
shoreline, bluffs, forests and
wildlife that inhabit the shoreline.

Lake Taneycomo |
Accessible from historic downtown Branson
and at multiple points east including the communities of
Rockaway Beach, Forsyth and Powersite and south of Hwy. 76 in
Hollister and the Fall Creek area, Lake Taneycomo was formed
with the completion of Powersite Dam in 1913. It was originally
 a section of the White River, and although Taneycomo is now
technically a lake, it retains the look and feel of a river.
When the Table Rock Dam was completed at Taneycomo's headwaters
in 1958, the nature of the lake changed. Taneycomo's water now
comes from the bottom of Table Rock Lake, making it a cold water
lake. The cold, clear water, stocked annually with approximately
750,000 10-12" rainbow trout, makes Taneycomo a world-class
trout fishing lake.
