Fall for the Ozarks

The autumn landscape in the Branson area explodes in an array of rich colors beginning in mid-September and lasting through November.

Fall foliage driving tours are a favorite way to see the Ozarks painted with fall color. Also popular are plane, helicopter, train and boat tours. Branson celebrates its traditional American heritage in the fall with craft and music festivals, patriotic events and many outdoor sporting activities.

The Branson/Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce and Convention & Visitors Bureau can help make planning your trip easier and more convenient. Give us a call at 1-800-296-0463 to speak with a friendly customer service representative.

On this approximately two and a half hour guided canopy tour of the Ozark Mountains you'll soar into the night and discover the nocturnal activities of the Ozarks. This canopy tour features seven zip lines and ten suspension bridges. Your experience begins with our Association for Challenge Course Technology (ACCT) - credited guides briefly explaining basic equipment instruction before transporting you from the base to the top of the Ozark Mountains located on Wolfe Creek Preserve by way of an authentic Pinzgauer Swiss Army Troop Carrier. Throughout the journey, you will experience the natural beauty of the Ozarks, offering the unique chance to speed through the canopy. As opposed to the ecological vantage our day tours provide, the Xplorer In The Dark presents a uniquely thrilling journey with the potential of experiencing the Ozarks’ nocturnal critters that inhabit Wolfe Creek Preserve while simultaneously offering a more intimate setting of approximately eight guests per tour group. Those looking for a complete Branson Zipline & Canopy Tour in an entirely different atmosphere will find that the Xplorer In The Dark presents all of the traditional excitement of our Ozarks Xplorer Canopy Tour in an entirely new fashion.
