Table Rock Lake is located 6 miles west of Branson, Missouri and Branson is home entertainment and activities for vacationers.

The biggest theme park in Branson is the Silver Dollar City Park which takes you back into 1880's America with a complete craft village. The whole park is filled with crafts, thrill rides, and family attractions never losing the 1880's style. One traditions celebration held every year in the park is The Bluegrass and BBQ Festival. The biggest names in Bluegrass music are usually there during the 23 day festival that goes from May 10th thru the 1st of June. And every year there is an Old Fashion Christmas celebration which begins around the 1st of November every year and end at the end of December.

The park's hours are different during different times of the year, so you should plan ahead and get further information at 1-800-475-9370. There are great discounts and family packages so be sure to look into these and what they include.

There is also a water park in Branson, called White Water and is Branson's only outdoor water park. It offers all the water slides you can imagine as well as a gigantic wave pool. There is a 6 lane Freefall and Racing slide and for slowing down the pace, a beach for those who have had enough excitement. The park begins operation at the end of May until the middle of September.

For traveling back to the Old West, there is Dolly Parton's Dixie Stampede Dinner and Show with all the ambiguity and excitement of the Old West. This Western extravaganza has a roaring stampede of longhorn steer, cowboys and a wagon train full of hopeful settlers with a dream of freedom.
