Updated Lake-Level Information for Visitors
Branson’s shows, attractions, restaurants and other businesses are OPEN
Updated July 13, 2011
This Spring's heavy rainfall has brought high water levels to the Branson area's lakes and streams. But it's important to note that Branson is not flooded. All our roads and highways open, and our businesses are open and looking forward to your visit!
It's also important to note that Branson was not directly affected by the tornado that devastated Joplin (which is about 90 miles west of Branson). For more information, visit our "How You Can Help" page.
Our thoughts and prayers remain with our neighbors who have been dealing with this Spring's storms and rainfall.
Issues that may affect Branson visitors:
- Table Rock Lake and Bull Shoals Lake remain at elevated levels, so boaters are advised to watch for submerged objects and to always wear lifejackets while on the water. Boaters should observe "no wake zones" when operating near shorelines or flooded areas.
- Lake Taneycomo has returned to normal levels. Boaters are advised to watch for limbs, new shoals or other obstacles that may have been caused when the lake levels were higher.
- Shadowrock Park and Campground in Forsyth remains flooded by Bull Shoals Lake and likely will remain closed through the summer.
- Moonshine Beach swimming area on Table Rock Lake reopens on July 15. The adjacent boat ramp and parking area is open.
