Lake Taneycomo Recreation

Recreation The water's cold...other than fishing, what can you do on Branson's Lake Taneycomo? Kayaking is a popular sport on the lake; its long, river-like structure and close shorelines make it perfect for a peaceful, sight-seeing kayak trip.

Another wonderful way to enjoy Lake Taneycomo is aboard Main Street Cruises' Lake Queen. This authentically replicated boat recalls the paddlewheel vessels once found in abundance on the White River. The Lake Queen offers lunch and dinner cruises, as well as sight-seeing trips; a relaxing and enjoyable way to experience Lake Taneycomo.

Branson Landing, the fabulous shopping, dining, and entertainment complex adjacent to Bransons Downtown Historic District, lies on the banks of Lake Taneycomo; strolling its long boardwalk is another relaxing way to enjoy the beauty of the lake

Fishing on Branson's Lake Taneycomo

With a narrow, flowing, river-like appearance, the water in Lake Taneycomo comes from the deep bottom of Table Rock Lake, making Taneycomo's water very cold. This cold water created an ideal climate for trout, so the Shepherd of the Hills Fish Hatchery was built to help populate the lake with brown and rainbow trout. Numerous state records have been earned in Taneycomo's waters, and some local dining spots feature locally-sourced trout on their menus.

What about that unusual name?-- The City of Branson is located in Taney County, Missouri...Taney-Co-MO. It's that simple!
