Outdoor Fun in Branson

Branson has dozens of activities to enjoy in the great outdoors! Here is a list of the fun outdoor activities to do during your visit:

Spend The Day On The Lake

With two great lakes within minutes of the Branson city limit, Table Rock Lake and Lake Taneycomo are a great way to cool off in the heat. You can visit Moonshine Beach or Dewey Short to soak up the sun while having a relaxing day at the lake. 

For kayaking, canoeing or stand-up paddleboarding, check out Kayak Branson, near Table Rock Lake. White River Kayaking and Outdoors offers amazing rentals for Lake Taneycomo. 

Want something even more exciting? You can rent a boat to go tubing from Table Rock Lake Pontoons, Inc. or State Park Marina. If you want to spend time on the lake without having to rent a boat for the day, just enjoy a ride on Branson Jet Boats.

Ride A Mountain Coaster

You will experience the rolling hills of the Ozarks in a whole new way when you ride a mountain coaster. The Runaway Mountain Coaster, Branson’s first mountain coaster, uses gravity to pull you downhill and through two 360-degree loops over 5,000 feet of tracks. Race to the finish on North America’s first double mountain coaster, The Branson Coaster at the Branson Sawmill, where the tracks twist and turn so close you’d think you were going to collide!
