TABLE ROCK DAM
Man brought a new aspect to the Ozarks in the late 1950s with the construction of Table Rock Dam. The dam, built on the White River to control floods and generate hydroelectric power, created the 43,100-acre Table Rock Lake with a shoreline of nearly 800 miles. Table Rock Lake received its name from a rock shelf that stands high above the White River about one mile downstream from the dam site. The lake, along with nearby Lake Taneycomo, has created an area with outstanding recreational opportunities.
PARK ACTIVITIES
Table Rock State Park borders the northeast shoreline of Table Rock Lake providing water enthusiasts with a variety of entertainment options. For a taste of adventure, visitors can rent a ski boat or personal watercraft such as a Wave Runners, try a para-sailing ride or take an excursion on a 48-foot sailing catamaran. Pontoon boats and fishing boats are also available to rent. A paved ramp is provided for launching boats, and overnight boat slips are available.
The lake is nationally known for its bass fishing, along with opportunities to catch crappie, sunfish and catfish. The clarity of the water makes Table Rock Lake a popular place for scuba diving. Diving equipment can be rented or purchased at the marina and a scuba course is offered for beginners. Although there is no designated beach, swimming is available at several areas of the park. The marina store features sportswear, sports gear, food/beverage, bait and tackle, fuel and convenience goods.
CAMPGROUNDS
Two shaded campgrounds provide accommodations for visitors wishing to spend a few days taking advantage of all the area has to offer. The campsites include basic, electric and sewer/water/electric sites. The camping areas wind along the shoreline of the lake, allowing easy access to the water. Facilities in the campgrounds include modern restrooms, hot showers and a coin-operated laundry.
