Finding natural beauty certainly isn’t difficult in Missouri – especially if you love the cool, clear water and beautiful mountains. You’ll get both when you visit Lake Taneycomo in Missouri, a breathtaking body of water that’s perfect for fishing, for a very quick cool down, and for looking out over while having a meal at a charming restaurant.
A manmade lake that’s fed by Table Rock Lake in Branson, Lake Taneycomo’s known as a prime fishing spot for trout, making it an ideal destination for those who enjoy relaxing lakeside.

Each year, in fact, more than three quarters of a million rainbow and brown trout are dropped into the lake to ensure it is well-stocked.

Spanning just over three miles, the breathtaking Lake Taneycomo is also the coldest lake in Missouri, since its water rushes from the bottom of Table Rock Lake.

With a temperature of 48 degrees Fahrenheit, the lake really isn’t conducive to swimming, at least for any length of time. However, it’s popular for briefly wading in during those scorching summer days.

If you’re not a fan of fishing, you can still enjoy the beauty of the lake in quite a few other ways. Boating and kayaking, for example, are popular on the lake.

You can also let someone else do the steering when you climb aboard the Landing Princess or the Landing Queen, with Main Street Marina, for a picturesque journey along the water.

A shopping, dining and entertainment complex, Branson Landing also sits on the shores of Lake Taneycomo. Shop a bit or go for a delicious meal at one of the lakefront restaurants that offers sensational views of the shimmering water.

For a sun-soaked afternoon or an evening stroll, meander along the one-mile Sunset Park Walking Path, which offers spellbinding views of the water.
