Take a Day Trip To Table Lake Park

Visit Table Lake Park for the day and take in the sights, go for a swim, or even dive to the bottom of Table Rock Lake to search through the remnants of the underwater village of Oasis. This underwater farming community consisting of less than ten buildings, once called Cedar Valley, is now under approximately 100 feet of water near the bottom of Table Rock Lake and is a popular technical dive for scuba divers from all over. Paddlewheel boat rides on the Branson Belle, and catamaran tours on the Spirit of America are also available for guests daily.

If staying dry is more your thing, there are hiking trails located all over this property, including a 2.2-mile paved trail that is accessible for walking, jogging, biking, wheelchairs, and more. This Table Rock Lakeshore Trail runs most of the length of the waterfront in the park and is a popular destination for birding, fishing, and walking a leashed dog. When here for the day, you also have the option of stopping at the visitor center, playing on the playgrounds, or using the bathhouses or picnic areas onsite. Guests can even book a covered picnic area for family events for the day. If you are looking to earn some badges, grab your verification cards at the visitor center and participate in the explorer program, or apply for the camper award if you have been to at least five historic Missouri sites or camps within the year (or plan to). If you are looking for a bite to eat, be sure to head over towards the marina to eat at Danna’s Bar-b-que & Burger Shop - open after Memorial Day each year.
