🚤 Outdoors & On the Water

Table Rock Lake, hiking trails, caves, and everything that makes the Ozarks beautiful.

Rent a Pontoon on Table Rock Lake

We've Been
We rent from Indian Point Marina — easy process, decent price. Tube rental is easy too. Bring snacks and sunscreen. If you're tubing with kids, they'll be worn out in about 2 hours. One of our favorite things to do in Branson.

We've Been
Table Rock Lake and the surrounding area have great fishing. It's a relaxing way to spend a morning or afternoon with the family.

Hiking Trails

We've Been
Check out the Waterfall Trail — it's a great simple hike that's doable even with younger kids. The Ozarks scenery is beautiful and there are trails for every skill level.

Big Cedar Lodge / Top of the Rock

We've Been
The golf cart cave tour is a ton of fun — we did it with the kids and they loved it. Also check out the Ancient Ozarks Natural History Museum. Worth a visit if it's nice out. We'd go back.

Branson Zoo

We've Been
A fun stop for families with younger kids. It's smaller than a big-city zoo, so set your expectations — but the kids enjoyed it.
