At the State Park Marina you can board the Spirit of America , a 49 passenger catamaran and see the lake at a leisurely pace. The Polynesian Princess provides its guests with a sumptuous meal and entertainment while enjoying the sites or take the midday sightseeing cruise and learn about the history and today's sites on the lake.

Lake Taneycomo Taneycomo changed from a warm water to a cold water fishery with the completion of Table Rock Dam, creating a perfect habitat for trout. This ideal habitat produces record sized brown and rainbow trout.
Locals say the best way to fill a stringer is by drifting salmon eggs or angle worms.
The upper portion of the lake is reserved for artificial lures only and is ideal for fly fishing. Fishing patterns change throughout the seasons for these beautiful fish but catching is active all year round. There are several species of bass and panfish available in Taneycomo as well as the trout. From Table Rock Dam, through downtown Branson and beyond, Lake Taneycomo offers easy access to water activities including swimming, fishing, boating and sight seeing cruises. The Sammy Lane Pirate Cruise departs from the wharf in downtown Branson.
