Vacation Here

750 Miles of Natural Shoreline Adventure Awaits You

Table Rock Lake is one of the larger lakes in Missouri with water quality second to none. Table Rock is an Army Corps of Engineers lake located in the Little Rock District. Our beautiful body of fresh water offers visitors a wide variety of activities while visiting the Ozarks such as boating, diving, hiking, fishing, camping, biking, hunting, cave spelunking, geocaching, and water sports.

Throughout the years, vacationers have come to this part of the Ozarks to enjoy nature as it should be - uninterrupted, eco-friendly environment for families to enjoy! In fact, the majority of families who vacation here return often and some eventually retire in the tri-lakes area. It's a wonderful place to visit, but even a better place to live. Whether you're entertaining the thought of spending a weekend in Branson, Missouri or a week of family fun on the lake - we've got what you're looking for.

Table Rock Dam 50th

1959-2009 Dedication/U.S. Army Corps of Engineers

Dam Information

Table Rock Dam is 6,423 feet long and is constructed using a concrete section measuring 1,602 feet long and two banks of earth covering 4,821 feet. The dam rises 252 feet above the riverbed, contains 1,230,000 cubic yards of concrete and 3,320,000 cubic yards of embankment. Four 18 foot diameter penstocks convey water to four 50,000 kilowatt generating units in the powerhouse. The first two units were ready for generation of power in June 1959, and installation of units three and four was complete in August 1961.

Nearby Branson

Although Branson, Missouri was founded in the 1800's, it wasn't until the Table Rock Lake dam was completed that Branson began to see growth. Back then, Branson was a very small Ozark community with very little commerce. Entertainment was always a part of the true Ozark heritage, but it wasn't until after the late 1950's that Branson embraced entertainment as a staple in their daily lives.
