Being from CO the lakes in MO are outstanding! It rained on us for a few of the days and oh boy the humidity, not used to that, but it is a small price to pay for the huge lakes.....

Here is Big Cedar Lodge, very cool place. Cheapest gas on the lake, only they can't sell it unless you are staying there....



Cool pic, of the branson Belle going by the Dam when we were on land at a scenic overlook.



I had to post a brige shot, we have very few if any bridges over our ponds in CO.....



This is very cool, MO actually has handicapped boat parking



Of course one of the storms that scared us out of the water....



We had a great time, two days on the lake and a couple of nice days exploring Branson, and most important forgetting about WORK for a WEEK!

Check out this wood Chris Craft, a very sharp boat!



I probably had better get some work done....

Nice pic's Denverboater. We were down there the week of the 4th, but had to come back unexpectedly early on the 3rd. We loved the lake. Big water, clear water and the lake wasn't crowded with boaters or huge boats.

We will be in Bull Shoals in 2 weeks and will probally take a trip over to Branson while we are there.

great pictures. didn't know there was handicapped boat parking anywhere. you sure that wasn't in a flooded parking lot? those trees look a little out of place to me.

Nice pictures. I grew up in Missouri and went to the Lake of the Ozarks many times, but never made it to Table Rock. Looks like a very cool lake.

Cool! I will be there in less than 2 weeks and can't wait! Thanks for the pics and glad you had a good time.

It is my dry since of humor,.... The parking lot is still flooded, check out the phone booth...




This is a cove we found for lunch, I just love all the trees, being from the high desert area of the front range.....



Thanks for the complements, I though I add better add some of my own pict, I always enjoy ever one else's.....

You will like TBL, don't know if you had ever been there, I still like Lake Powell the best, but TBL sure is a nice lake, with a ton of other activities around the lake that Powell does not offer...

I give you guys a ton of credit for how far some of you tow your boat for a nice lake. Lake Michigan is just under an hour away and sometimes I feel like it is a PITA and wish I lived closer.

Those are great pics...always heard great things about Table Rock.

It's flooded and the marina stays open. Cool.

TR's the best! It's nice to see the water coming down in the bridge pic.

Great pictures but Table Rock is sooooooooo over rated!

The water level is slowly dropping but last Saturday night we had another monsoon and it drove the lake back up a bit but it has been dropping steadily since. It appears to be at the lowest level since March. I just look forward to being able to walk onto my dock!

Nice shots and it looks like a great place to go boating. How long did it take you to trailer there?

Can you really get a lakefront lot at Table Rock for $50,000?

etyppo, better read that again. It's "Water Access Lots" not water front lots....

That is the bad thing being from CO, the drive is a good 14 - 15 hours, pulling a boat. Mapquest says that it is a 12 hour drive......

Of course than you get great shots of Kansas driving....

Oops. Better go back and retake reading comprehension.

Becuase of the terrain & the fact that it's a Corp's lake waterfront lots aren't that plentiful, at least from what I've seen in the limited ares I've been on. And, that price is just for the LOT, not with a home.

Yep it is a long drive, but well worth it. Some of those valleys (sorry hollers) between Springfield and Branson are just as bad as driving through the mounatins out here. We are going back in September and can't wait. My Uncle has his sailboat at the marina in the pics, it is quite a maze of walkways to get to his boat.

I did notice it was just for a lot. $50,000 for a lot on or near the water with a dock sounds pretty cheap to me though after living in California. Even in our deflated real estate environment, that's about 1/10th of what a lot with water access costs in my neighborhood. I've been giving some thought to moving back to the midwest, and prices like that are a definite incentive to do so.

I agree $50,000 for just the lot doesn't seem to bad. My parents bought a lot on Kentucky Lake and are building their retirement home there. I'm pretty sure they paid more then that. It's going to be a great place to drop off the kids for the summer

That is cheap. The place where my grandparents have their cottage. Crystal Lake, MI, there are a few lots people are selling of. Just for the LOT...50' of frontage by about 120' deep...start at 1/2 a mil...yes $500,000

Thanks for the pics. I like the pics of the Branson Bell at the dam and the Chris Craft best. Sounds like everyone had a good time. Was there much debris in the water?

no, real clear... We went South into AR area, and saw 2 pieces of drift wood in the channel. I picked one drift wood up and brought it home, for show and tell......

The trees poping out of the water by the shore is kind of spooky for a first time user of TRL, we were not sure on the exactly where the old shore line was and the flooded part, so we just stayed in the middle of each cove etc....

Yeah, but you gotta love the depth of that lake. Under the bridge (K-city bridge) it was over 200' deep. I would only get a little nervous when the water was only (yeah, only) 30 feet deep or so, but that only happened close to the dock.

Gotta' watch out for those dang islands and sand bars though.

I love the lake as well. Sorry we didnt get to meet up, but I was running late too. I didn't get in until about 9:30pm on Thursday!

Glad you liked it! Now keep it a secret so it doesnt become crowded!
