OUTDOOR ADVENTURE

Within minutes of the bright lights of Branson, outdoor enthusiasts may enjoy ziplining, hiking, biking, camping, canoeing, kayaking, horseback riding, trout and bass fishing, hunting, trap and skeet shooting, spelunking, rock climbing, as well as recreational and competitive sporting activities. Public parks, beaches, resorts, campgrounds, forests and recreational facilities abound.

The Branson/Lakes Area has three pristine lakes with hundreds of miles of natural shoreline and more than 100,000 acres of city, state, federal and privately-owned forest, conservation, wilderness and park areas available to visitors.

TA B L E R O C K L A K E

Kayaks and canoes are a great way to explore Branson’s beautiful lakes, but the next time you’re down for outdoor adventure, stand up on a paddleboard instead.

Visitors can hike the trail at the 1,574-acre Ruth and Paul Henning Conservation Area. In addition, there are three hiking trails, a cave and a view of Lake Taneycomo within the 130-acre Lakeside Forest Wilderness Area on Fall Creek Road.

Missouri’s 1.5-million acre Mark Twain National Forest offers guests a wealth of outdoor recreational opportunities in and around the nearby towns of Kimberling City and Forsyth.

TOPOGRAPHY The Ozark Mountain terrain of caves, streams, rivers, lakes, waterfalls, grasslands, forests, steep rocky hillsides, bottomland and glades make up the breathtaking topography of the area.

BALDS Although hardwood forests cover much of the Branson/Lakes

[22] 2016 Branson Vacation Guide | ExploreBranson.com | 877-BRANSON

Area, one of the most intriguing features is the “glades,” frequently referred to as “balds” by locals because of their characteristically sparse terrain of semi-desert soil, ledge-rock, scattered cedar trees and prairie plants amidst rolling seas of oak and hickory trees. You’ll most often see glades on the south- and west-facing slopes of hills. Intense and prolonged sunlight, coupled with fires started by lightning, Native Americans or early settlers, have kept them relatively clear of trees.

BALD KNOBBERS The area’s balds served as important meeting spots for the 1880’s vigilante justice gangs that organized in Taney County after many years of lawlessness following the Civil War. Started by upstanding citizens, the Bald Knobbers, as they became known, concealed their identities for fear of retribution by criminals and eventually lost popular support due to their increasingly ruthless and seemingly indiscriminate (and sometimes murderous) tactics.

You can still see “Baldknobbers” in Branson, the musical instrument-toting kind, at the Baldknobbers’ Jamboree show; well past their 55th year of bringing music and family entertainment to audiences.

877-BRANSON | ExploreBranson.com | 2016 Branson Vacation Guide [23]

DOGWOOD CANYON Dogwood Canyon Nature Park is a privately-owned 2,200-acre park located southwest of Branson on Hwy. 86. Dogwood Canyon offers beautiful natural rock bluffs, tree-lined fields, dozens of waterfalls, crystal-clear streams teeming with brown and rainbow trout, log cabin lodging, on-site dining and shopping, as well as activities for everyone from the casual observer to the seasoned adventurer.

WOLFE CREEK PRESERVE Wolfe Creek Preserve, just seven miles north of Branson, is home to Branson Zipline Canopy Tours. An authentic zipline canopy tour, plus the Ozarks Xplorer and the Flying Prospector, has visitors soaring through the trees while traversing a series of ziplines, sky bridges and platforms.

You can enjoy miles of paved walking, biking and hiking trails, horseback riding, guided tram and jeep tours, trout fishing, kayaking and more with paid admission to the park.

Guests can see bison, longhorns and elk on the guided tram tours. Dogwood Canyon offers fishing guide service and Orvis fly fishing schools by appointment, and will even arrange a mock city-slicker “cattle drive,” complete with horses, cattle, gear, and chuckwagonstyle meals for groups.

ADVENTURE ZIPLINE

Fly among the tall treetops and enjoy beautiful views and incredible panoramas of the Ozark Mountains with one of Branson’s exciting zipline experiences.

The guided eco-adventures include third-party, safety-certified guides sharing topographical, ecological and historical information. Guests choose from four different canopy tours or take the Blue Streak Fast Line with Freefall Xpress – a thrilling zip with a 100-ft. freefall.

TABLE ROCK LAKESHORE TRAIL The two-mile Table Rock Lakeshore Trail connects the Dewey Short Visitor Center to the Showboat Branson Belle and Table Rock State Park. The eightfoot-wide paved trail is open from dawn to dusk and can accommodate foot traffic, motorized wheelchairs, bicycles, skateboards, Segways and scooters.

The Ozark Mountain Nature Trail Association hopes eventually to extend the trail into a 12-mile hiking and biking trail reaching from the Taneycomo lakefront in Historic Downtown Branson to the town of Reeds Spring.

Are you planning an RV or camping trip? If you are, you’ll be happy to know that Branson offers a variety of camping sites and RV parks for you to enjoy.

The woods are teeming with deer, bald eagles, red-tailed hawks, turkey vultures, wild turkeys, great horned owls, great blue herons and pileated woodpeckers.

GOLF GOLF’S OZARK MOUNTAIN OASIS When you explore Branson golf, you’ll discover a new world of award-winning courses connected with the greatest names in golf: Fazio, Nicklaus, Palmer and soon, Ben Crenshaw and Gary Player.

These courses offer world-class golfing experiences.

Newly reopened, Top of the Rock is now the host of PGA’s Legends of Golf event. The first-ever Par-3 course to be included in a professional championship, it features nature and golf at its finest. The experience includes a Jack Nicklaus signature course, an Arnold Palmerdesigned practice facility, Tom Watson’s putting complex called the “Himalayas,” and Arnie’s Barn, a 150-year-old barn relocated from Latrobe, Pennsylvania.

The Buffalo Ridge Springs course has a growing reputation as one of the top public courses in the nation. It ranks as the best public course in Missouri. A Tom Fazio design utilizing all of the natural features of the landscape, formerly Branson Creek now with a herd of bison looking on.

Branson Hills Golf Club is a tribute course honoring Legendary Missouri Golfers. Natural rock outcroppings, waterfalls, creeks and wooded areas are incorporated. The course

was designed by Chuck Smith with design consultant and PGA Professional, Bobby Clampett.

Thousand Hills Golf Resort was rated 4-stars by Golf Digest magazine and was voted “Best of the Ozarks” by the readers of the Springfield News-Leader in the past few years. This course has gained popularity from its unique ability in catering to all golf skill levels. From novice to professional, the three separate sets of tees ensure a challenging, fair game for all golfers.

LedgeStone Country Club at StoneBridge Village was described by Golf Digest as a “masterpiece of mountain golf architecture.” The 18-hole, par 71, championship course is just minutes from downtown Branson.

TOP OF THE ROCK GOLF COURSE

Golf courses in Branson take advantage of the striking natural features of the Ozark Mountains.

Pointe Royale is a true “shot-maker” course with lush bent grass greens and Bermuda fairways, eight water holes, sand and grass bunkers, and tees for all levels of play.

LAKES THREE PRISTINE LAKES The Branson/Lakes Area is well known for its three pristine lakes: Table Rock, Taneycomo and Bull Shoals. Water sports enthusiasts can swim, water ski, wakeboard, tube, boat, sail, scuba dive, jet ski, parasail, kayak and, of course, fish. The lakes’ waters never freeze, welcoming visitors’ activities year-round. All three lakes offer resort lodging, camping and picnicking facilities and easy access to the water at a number of public marinas and boat docks/launch areas. Several commercial docks offer fishing guide services and a wide range of boat rentals, including ski boats, pontoon boats, bass boats and wave runners. Many of the resorts on the three lakes offer guide service, rental boats, snack bars and private dock facilities for visitors’ boats as well.

TABLE ROCK LAKE Accessible from multiple public and privately-owned locations just minutes to the west of Branson, Table Rock Lake has been delighting visitors and residents alike since it was formed by the damming of the White River in 1959. While visitors can find dozens of places to stay and play along the banks of Table Rock Lake, the area’s commercial developments have placed a high priority on preserving the scenic beauty of the Ozarks’ natural shoreline, bluffs, forests and wildlife.

FISHING TABLE ROCK LAKE Missouri’s deepest (200 feet) and clearest reservoir, Table Rock is nationally recognized as a top bass fishing lake. Large numbers of largemouth, smallmouth, Kentucky spotted bass and white bass thrive in its diverse underwater structure and immense forage base.

LAKE TANEYCOMO Accessible from many points, including downtown Branson, Rockaway Beach, Forsyth, Powersite, Hollister and the Fall Creek area, Lake Taneycomo was formed with the completion of Powersite Dam in 1913. Originally a section of the White River, Taneycomo is now technically a lake, yet retains the look and feel of a river. When Table Rock Dam was completed at Taneycomo’s headwaters in 1959, the nature of the lake changed. Taneycomo’s water now comes from the bottom of Table Rock Lake, making it a cold water lake. The cold, clear water, stocked annually with approximately 750,000 rainbow trout, makes Lake Taneycomo a world-class trout fishery.

Resorts and full-service public marinas offer canoeing, kayaking, fishing boats, motorboats, guides, tackle and pontoons for relaxing and fun-filled lake activities.

FISHING LAKE TANEYCOMO The uppermost portion of the lake is reserved for artificial lures only such as tiny jigs and crankbaits. These headwaters are also ideal for fly fishing with flies that imitate the freshwater shrimp and other natural bait that trout feed upon.

L A K E TA N E Y C O M O

The locals say the best way to catch trout is by drifting salmon eggs or angleworms. Affix the eggs or worms to a small hook and cast into holes with an ultra light rod and reel. This method used from a drifting boat or dock will yield a nice stringer of trout.

Lower Lake Taneycomo harbors a well-kept secret. The downstream area closer to Forsyth offers considerably warmer water and many other species of fish, making Taneycomo a versatile and challenging destination for anglers who are aware of its changing character from one end to the other. Fishing guides are available to help you make the most of your Lake Taneycomo experience.

LAKE TANEYCOMO FACTS • 2,000+ acres of surface area • 40+ miles of shoreline • 58 degrees - average water temperature • 750,000 + rainbow and brown trout stocked annually

L A K E TA N E Y C O M O

FISHING LICENSES A fishing license is required to fish in the State of Missouri.

Residents under 16 and over 65 are not required to have a basic fishing license and daily fishing permits are available. Military serving in the armed forces of the United States, and all former members of the United States armed forces and their immediate families stationed and residing in Missouri, may receive resident permit privileges. More information may be found at mdc.mo.gov Check Missouri’s trout fishing permit requirements from the Department of Conservation by calling (417) 895-6880 or visiting www.missouriconservation.org prior to your fishing trip on Lake Taneycomo.

THE ARTS Branson’s artistic side includes paintings, sculptures and other art forms. Visitors can see many of these displays throughout the area.

East of the entrance to The Shoppes at Branson Meadows off Gretna Road, a small pavilion shelters a bronze eagle resting atop a four-sided monument. A tribute to all veterans, the exhibit was dedicated in 1995 by Bob Hope and The Children of the Ozarks.

The centerpiece at Central Bank, in historic downtown Branson, is “Flight,” an impressive sculpture portraying four geese in take-off by artist Gary Price. Reflections at The Grand Village is the late painter Thomas Kinkade’s exclusive signature store where visitors can go to admire and purchase his work. Don’t miss local artists in their galleries: Tim Cherry, Tom Crain and Mitch Yung.

Inside Branson City Hall, Townsend Godsey’s vintage photographs hang. “These Were The Last,” depicting life in the Ozarks in the 1930s and early 1940s, and “Stewards of Freedom,” a gold-laden eagle sculpture presented to the city by the National Flag Foundation in 1999. Located in front of the Post Office in historic downtown Branson, the “Circle of the Waters” sculpture by Lee Robertson is included in the Smithsonian’s survey of public sculpture.

Edwards Art Gallery and Boger Art Gallery, both located at College of the Ozarks, house dozens of paintings. Edwards Art Gallery, part of the Ralph Foster Museum, displays Ozarks painter Thomas Hart Benton. His “Departure of the Joads” painting was used as the frontispiece for John Steinbeck’s novel “The Grapes of Wrath,” and his lithographs are part of the museum’s permanent collection.

Steve Miller’s murals in the C of O Library are well worth seeing.

Just north of Branson is Bonniebrook, home of famous artist, illustrator, sculptor, writer and creator of the Kewpie Doll, the late Rose O’Neill. On the grounds are two of Miss O’Neill’s very imaginative Sweet Monster sculptures, “Embrace of the Tree” and “The Fauness.” The Kewpie Museum houses O’Neill’s original works.

Much of the history of the Ozarks can be traced through the crafts of local residents. For generations, residents of the Ozark Mountains made what they needed including quilts, pottery, baskets, glassware and wrought iron.

Today, craftsmanship is an integral part of the area’s culture and is celebrated with festivals, events and permanent exhibitions.

Autumn Daze are held downtown each fall, showcasing arts & crafts created by area residents.

At Silver Dollar City theme park, visitors can watch craftsmen demonstrate the arts of basket weaving, glass blowing, ironworking and woodcarving, among others. Each fall at the National Harvest Festival, there are dozens of additional artists and craftsmen demonstrating their skills. Guests can purchase one-of-a-kind heirloomquality items made by the artisans.

Old-time crafts can also be seen at the Shepherd of the Hills Historic Homestead where turn-of-the-century works of traditional Ozarks art are on display daily.

The Branson Mill Craft Village features the work of more artisans, many of them working on site to showcase their wood, textile, glass and leather art and crafts.

TA N E Y C O M O B R I D G E

A MARVELOUS BEGINNING For more than 100 years, the Branson/Lakes Area has been attracting visitors to the Ozarks, lured by natural beauty and outdoor recreational activities. The first family attraction to draw visitors was Marvel Cave (beneath the property where Silver Dollar City theme park is currently located). First called Marble Cave because its limestone walls were thought to be marble, the cave was described by geologists in the 1860s and explored in the 1880s by adventurers who lowered themselves on ropes 200 feet into the main chamber.

Scientific American magazine described the cave in 1885, and word of the natural wonder spread throughout the continent.

Canadian mining expert William Henry Lynch read of the cave, purchased it sight unseen, traveled to the Ozarks and, with his two daughters, opened the cave for public tours in 1894.

On the advice of his physician, minister Harold Bell Wright traveled from his home in Kansas to the Ozarks in 1898 to seek a more suitable climate for his health. He stayed at the homestead of John and Anna Ross, whom Wright later immortalized as the characters Old Matt and Aunt Mollie in his best-selling novel “The Shepherd of the Hills.” Published in 1907, the book told the story of the self-reliant and stoic hill people he encountered in the area and of the wooded valleys, the mountain “balds” and the incredible cave he had seen.

The book was a huge success. Millions of copies were sold in several languages, and four movies were filmed, including a 1941 version starring John Wayne, his first Technicolor film. Wright’s novel has become the fourth most widely read book in publishing history. Following the publication of “The Shepherd of the Hills,” local residents began noticing a great influx of visitors. Many came [64] 2016 Branson Vacation Guide | ExploreBranson.com | 877-BRANSON

to the Ross homestead. The Rosses eventually sold their homestead to Miss Lizzie McDaniel of Springfield, who began presenting the very first dramatization of Wright’s story, right on the front lawn.

When Ozark Beach Dam (also called Powersite Dam) was built in 1913 near Forsyth and Lake Taneycomo was created, the area became quite a haven for outdoor enthusiasts who came to fish, boat, swim, hunt and enjoy the rugged beauty of the Ozark Mountains. Travelers flocked to the Ozarks on the newly-built White River Line railroad that stopped in the neighboring town of Hollister, Missouri.

1950 - 1969 TV SHOWS & HYDROELECTRIC POWER The area first gained national prominence in the entertainment industry in 1954 when Red Foley, a legendary country singer with 38 top ten hits, moved to Springfield, Missouri from Nashville, Tennessee to host “Ozark Jubilee,” one of the first successful network television shows.

In 1959, the area was changed forever with the completion of Table Rock Dam. This brought much needed power to the area, spurring the growth of many area businesses. Until 1959, Rockaway Beach, located just a few miles east of Branson on the banks of Lake Taneycomo, had long been a playground for America’s rich and famous with movie stars and U.S. presidents among those who retreated to the small resort community.

Construction of a dam created Table Rock Lake, nationally renowned for bass fishing and water sports. In addition, the cold water from the bottom of Table Rock Lake that was now flowing into Lake Taneycomo changed it into one of the country’s most popular trout fly-fishing lakes.

PRESLEYS' COUNTRY JUBILEE

BALDKNOBBERS JAMBOREE

FIRST FAMILIES OF ENTERTAINMENT BALDKNOBBERS JAMBOREE In 1959, Mabe brothers Bob, Bill, Lyle, and Jim began performing twice a week in a converted roller skating rink on the Lake Taneycomo waterfront in downtown Branson.

The brothers combined popular country tunes with Ozark Mountain music and threw in a dash of comedy to entertain audiences.

In 1969, the Baldknobbers, as the brothers called themselves, built a theater on Highway 76, making their act the longest continuously running show.

O L D M AT T ’ S C A B I N AT S H E P H E R D O F T H E H I L L S

For more than a hundred years, Branson has been attracting visitors to the Ozarks, lured by natural beauty and outdoor recreational activities.

SHEPHERD OF THE HILLS HOMESTEAD & OUTDOOR DRAMA A few miles east of Silver Dollar City, Dr. Bruce Trimble and his wife, Mary, began staging an outdoor pageant in 1959 based on the best-selling novel “The Shepherd of the Hills.” The amphitheater was actually located on the site where the models for author Harold Bell Wright’s characters lived. Under the direction of Mary, with her son Mark and his wife Lea, the production grew into one of the nation’s most popular outdoor historical dramas. In 1985, Gary Snadon (school teacher and former cast member of the outdoor drama) along with his wife, Pat, purchased the homestead.

SILVER DOLLAR CITY In 1960, the long-term plans of Hugo and Mary Herschend came to fruition with the opening of a small, old-time Ozarks village attraction atop the long-popular Marvel Cave, about 10 miles west of Branson on Hwy. 76. They called it Silver Dollar City, and it offered an 1880s steam train ride, demonstrating craftsmen, themed shops and music. The first year, it drew 125,000 people.

Following Hugo’s death, Mary and her sons Jack and Peter continued to direct the growth of the family business, and by 1963, Silver Dollar City was Missouri’s top tourist attraction. In 1967, Silver Dollar City received national exposure when the “Beverly Hillbillies” TV show filmed five episodes at the Branson theme park.

The company later expanded to include other popular Branson attractions: White Water water park and the Showboat Branson Belle. Today, Silver Dollar City has grown into a multi-million dollar entertainment complex.

The park also hosts six festivals each year.

In 1998, Silver Dollar City was given the Applause Award by the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions as the top theme park in the world. The family-owned company, Herschend Family Entertainment, currently owns, operates or partners in 19 properties in nine states. In 2004, Jack and Peter Herschend were inducted into the Hall of Fame of the amusement industry’s largest organization worldwide, the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions.

PRESLEYS’ COUNTRY JUBILEE In 1963, the Presley family began a music show at The Underground Theater near Talking Rocks Cavern with special guests from “Ozark Jubilee,” including Red Foley. They made history in 1967 when they built the first music theater on Hwy. 76.

Today, Presleys’ Country Jubilee stars three generations of Presley family members including two original members of the show: Gary and Steve Presley, Lloyd and Bessie’s sons. Together with other cast members, each night they perform a variety of music on a wide range of instruments, and a much loved array of comedy skits.
