Lake Info
In the novel Shepherd of the Hills, author Harold Bell Wright wrote, "When God looked upon th’ work of his hands and called it good, he was sure alookin at this here Ozark Country…" Today, if Mr. Wright could see the Ozarks, he would be awed and impressed with how the beautiful Ozark Mountains have made an inspiring home for Table Rock Lake and Dam.
Winding down through the valleys and hollows of the Ozark Mountains, from Branson, Missouri to Eureka Springs, Arkansas, Table Rock Lake reaches out for your attention with water as blue as the sky. Designed, built and operated by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, Table Rock Dam and Lake has become a paradise for boaters, scuba divers, campers and fishermen alike. Camping enthusiasts are treated to thirteen Corps of Engineers operated campgrounds located adjacent to Table Rock Lake. Full service marinas operate on Table Rock Lake at various locations to provide service and convenience to boaters. Over 100 resorts are located adjacent to Table Rock Lake and provide visitors with numerous water-related activities. For those visitors who do not want to operate a boat but still wanting to experience the beauty of the area from the water, five commercial boat cruises or rides operate on Table Rock Lake. With nearly 800 miles of shoreline to explore, Table Rock Lake is a vacation paradise for fishing, boating, swimming, and scuba diving. Houseboats, fishing boats, ski boats, and scuba equipment, as well as instructors, are available. Fisherman can wet their line to catch some of our abundance of Bass, Crappie, White Bass, Bluegill, and Catfish. Table Rock is one of four multiple-purpose projects constructed in the upper White River Basin for the control of floods and the generation of hydroelectric power. The project also offers excellent recreational opportunities. Table Rock Dam was completed in August of 1958 and is located approximately 6 miles south west of Branson, Missouri. On the average, the lake stays at or below Conservation Pool because it is used as the guide level for the generation of hydroelectric power. Both the Dam and Lake are controlled by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers and general information can be obtained through the Table Rock Resident Office. Technical Data:
