Table Rock Lake

Table Rock Lake is a manmade lake in The Ozarks of southern Missouri and northwestern Arkansas. It is impounded by Table Rock Dam constructed in 1954-1958 on the White River by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. It is one of the tourist draws for the nearby town of Branson, Missouri. There are several commercial marinas along the lake, and Table Rock State Park is located on the east side both north and south of Table Rock Dam. Beneath the dam, the Missouri Department of Conservation operates a fish hatchery, which is used to stock trout in Lake Taneycomo. The cold water discharged from the dam creates an excellent trout fishing environment in Lake Taneycomo.

• Spring: 56 to 77 °F
• Summer: 85 to 90 °F
