    Only a small section of this massive 6,423 foot dam
    Richard R.

    While exploring Branson, we stop by Table Rock Dam to marvel at it's massive 252 foot height above the riverbed and 6,423 foot length (17 football fields). Proposed in 1906, it was a long time coming to it's completion in 1958 which provided both flood control and hydro-electric power. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/MBBehYEVC3k3l3h-9wKY9g?userid=JjXuiru1_ONzDkYVrHN0aw#0Vr7B4Ffem-LdOdl7BPYvw They have a parking area on the North end of the Dam high up overlooking the lake and Dam. It was truly the best Dam view I've ever seen! I didn't know thousands of yards of concrete could be so Dam beautiful! They offer a lot of Dam tours at various times, so call ahead to get your Dam reservations. I can't think of another Dam thing to say so I'm going to end this Dam review. Be sure to stop by the Dewey Short Visitor Center for interactive exhibits, educational artifacts and a 20 minute film on the history of the area and construction of the dam. At the base of the dam is the SH Fish Hatchery where children can see and feed bass waiting to be released into the lake to help keep fish population levels excellent. Hope this Dam review was useful!

    I usually pass by this structure on my way to and from Branson. It has a very weathered appeal to it, which makes it interesting to look at as you pass over it. There's a certain undescribable charm to it.

    Great dam museum

    Nice place to go sit and watch the animals and water. Very peaceful. And free! We sat on a dock and…read morewatched the geese's and ducks. Next time we will bring fishing gear.

    One of Branson, Mo greatest gems is this pretty little lake…read more Some of the best mornings of my life have been spent on this quite little lake; guiding kayak tours in the spring and summer months, admiring all the adorable, chicks, ducks, Heron, turtles, fish, Canada Geese, and bald eagles-it was wonderful to watch the seasons change with the chaning colors of the leaves and the changing colors on the breasts of all the waterfowl; saying good morning to all the polite and funny fly-fishermen at dawn; giggling at the beavers who would sometimes scare the cr*p outta me by splashing into the water while I was admiring a Great Blue Heron; paddling my kayak through the icey waters, myself and my kayak covered in snow, during the winter. What I really loved, during the super-hot summer months, was when they would do a dam release and the cold water from the bottom of Table Rock lake would turn Lake Taneycomo into a super-cold 40degrees stream, creating this beautiful foggy mist, making morning kayak trips gloriously romantic, refreshing, and a luxurious treat. Some may think it's a stream or a gentle river upon first inspection because there is usually a bit of a current. This is because they let do "dam releases" from Table rock lake which regulates the lake levels of Taneycomo. So, even though it moves like a river it is technically a lake since it is dammed on both sides. SUGGESTIONS: Bring a kayak. You'll see so much more. You'll never disturb the little critters. Youll get to sneek up on happy little turtle families. Make more friend with the fly-fishermen by telling them where all the great fishing holes are without disturbing the fish. Bring a camera. Enjoy!
