I recently got the opportunity to spend a lot of time in Branson, Mo. I got to go and see some of the shows. Spend time a the many lakes in the area. It wasn't as dull as I thought, I thought it was just a place where old people went to vacation. Anyway here is my list of things you must do while in Branson.

1st, Spend a day at Table Rock Lake, Plan a nice picnic or a day of fishing. It's peaceful and relaxing. The big parks, Like the state park by the damn can get a little crowded but if you don't mind the crowds it has good access to the lake. It also has a visitor center with the history of the lake. Another big spot is at Indian Point it's a resort but if go past it, you will find a lot of place to with access to the lake. Now if you want to get away from the crowds just do a little driving. If go out to Kimberling City go down hwy. 13 until you reach hwy. 86 (Take a left). Right before you reach the next big bridge, There are a lot of little campsites with great access to the lake. Plus not many people out there during the day.

2nd, You must go to the the fish hatchery. This a great family activity. The kids ...
... can feed the fish, Just get a hand full of fish pellets and toss them into one of the holding areas. The fish go crazy and the kids get a kick out of it. While you there walk down to the spill ways. There right a the base of the damn. It's the cleanest clear water and if you watch the water you can see the trout swimming around. Be careful, Don't plan on fishing there unless you have a trout license and the water is really cold, even in the middle of the summer.

3rd, A day of shopping. Drive down to historic downtown Branson where you will find many little shops to browse. The best part is you can park your car and walk to all the store and when your finished with these stores, You're within walking distance of the Branson Landing. The Branson Landing is an outlet mall which features a Bass Pro Shop. There is all ways some kind of live entertainment going on. Plus there is a great view of lake Taneycomo. If you can't fill your day in old down town Branson there three other big outlet mall; Tanger Outlet Center, The Shoppes at Branson Meadows and Factory Merchants Branson. Plus two many craft stores to count.

4th, Spend the day at Silver Dollar City. Time will fly. There are so many things to do; rides, shows, crafts and of course Marvel Cave. You spend hours here and not know it. I find it a lot more fun then Six Flags just a lot more to do.

5th, A day of fun with the kids. There are many places to visit. White Water, A water park in Branson has a lot of activities, water slide, water bumper cars, pools and much more... Celebration City, Has lots rides, shows and arcades. There are go carts, bumper cars, water bumper cars and arcades all over Branson.

There many other things to do of course. If you're a golfer there are some great golf courses there and the surrounding areas. Countless shows to attend. Some of the best fishing you may ever do.
