Holiday homes & rentals in Table Rock

Table Rock is a breathtaking escarpment surrounded by mighty lakes and a gigantic dam of the same name. Magical hiking trails and a wealth of water sports await visitors who are inspired by this important Native American site.

Discovering the dam

On rare rainy days, The Dewey Short Visitor Centre is an interesting museum full of interactive displays that describe the construction of Table Rock Dam as well as local flora and fauna. There is also a huge collection of Native American artifacts to wonder at.

Outward bound at Table Rock

Go on a tour of the Shepherd of the Hills Fish Hatchery which raises the trout released into Tanycomo. You can feed the trout yourself, which is quite a sight; thousands of little mouths opening on the surface of the water. It is completely free (except for the cost of the food) to come and look around - and well worth a look. Also, be on the look for the sharp-eyed bald eagles that roost in November in the trees in Table Rock Park. Head to Branson Landing to find a lengthy lake trail. Every hour on the hour there is an impressive fire and water display.
