Table Rock Lake stretches over 43,000 acres with nearly 800 miles of shoreline. Just minutes from downtown Branson, this man-made lake built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in the 1950s has grown into a premier Midwest destination for boating, fishing, and lakeside relaxation.
Rent a pontoon, ski boat, or jet ski at State Park Marina or Indian Point Marina. Sunset cruises are popular, and several outfitters offer guided fishing trips for bass, crappie, and catfish.
Public swim beaches at Moonshine Beach Recreation Area and Table Rock State Park are great for families. Moonshine Beach has lifeguards in the summer, a sandy shoreline, and picnic areas.
Table Rock State Park has scenic trails like the Chinquapin Trail and Table Rock Lakeshore Trail, perfect for easy walks with lake views. For a more adventurous hike, head to Mark Twain National Forest nearby.
This iconic paddlewheel riverboat offers dinner, live entertainment, and panoramic views of the lake. It’s one of the most unique experiences on Table Rock.
Dozens of cabins and condos line the shores of the lake, especially near Indian Point and Kimberling City. Many feature private docks and lake access.
The Corps of Engineers operates excellent campgrounds, including Cape Fair, Campbell Point, and Indian Point, all with lakefront sites.
It combines the serenity of clear waters with the lively atmosphere of nearby Branson. Spend a morning fishing in quiet coves, an afternoon hiking lakeside trails, and an evening enjoying world-class entertainment just 15 minutes away. Few destinations blend natural beauty and vibrant culture quite like Table Rock Lake.
