The staff was VERY friendly, helpful, and informative from start to finish. The check-in process was so easy, and they did a great job making sure we didn't spend our vacation waiting around. The pontoon boat was clean, comfortable, and the tube worked perfectly for the kids. Everyone had such a great time on the water! This was our second time renting a boat from State Park Marina, and both experiences have been amazing. We truly have no complaints. The staff is awesome and goes above and beyond to make sure families have a great experience. Highly recommend State Park Marina if you're looking for a fun day on the lake!

One of Branson, Mo greatest gems is this pretty little lake…read more Some of the best mornings of my life have been spent on this quite little lake; guiding kayak tours in the spring and summer months, admiring all the adorable, chicks, ducks, Heron, turtles, fish, Canada Geese, and bald eagles-it was wonderful to watch the seasons change with the chaning colors of the leaves and the changing colors on the breasts of all the waterfowl; saying good morning to all the polite and funny fly-fishermen at dawn; giggling at the beavers who would sometimes scare the cr*p outta me by splashing into the water while I was admiring a Great Blue Heron; paddling my kayak through the icey waters, myself and my kayak covered in snow, during the winter. What I really loved, during the super-hot summer months, was when they would do a dam release and the cold water from the bottom of Table Rock lake would turn Lake Taneycomo into a super-cold 40degrees stream, creating this beautiful foggy mist, making morning kayak trips gloriously romantic, refreshing, and a luxurious treat. Some may think it's a stream or a gentle river upon first inspection because there is usually a bit of a current. This is because they let do "dam releases" from Table rock lake which regulates the lake levels of Taneycomo. So, even though it moves like a river it is technically a lake since it is dammed on both sides. SUGGESTIONS: Bring a kayak. You'll see so much more. You'll never disturb the little critters. Youll get to sneek up on happy little turtle families. Make more friend with the fly-fishermen by telling them where all the great fishing holes are without disturbing the fish. Bring a camera. Enjoy!

Wonderful experience for the family. They have everything you need for a successful fishing trip…read more Boat, pole rentals, and temporary fishing licenses were very reasonable and worked great. They also have fish cleaning stations w/ knives and folks that can help. Lisa thoughtfully helped us from patiently answering our questions over the phone to helping outfit us with all the right tackle. Derek was the very kind dock boss who explained all the ins and outs of boating this lake/river. He also provided backup equipment, including rod & reel which ended up being used since we snagged a log that took hook and all our line. Bathrooms (two) are to the right of front door and were kept clean. Wonderful time, caught five beautiful rainbow trout.

From where we started at the White River Landing, everything was smooth and well organized. The landing itself is charming, especially in the evening with string lights and a couple of shops designed to match the showboat's vintage aesthetic. There was a dedicated priority boarding line for Captain's Club guests that started on time and before general admission, so we avoided any wait. Staff efficiently guided us through boarding (complete with photo opportunity with an option to purchase later) and to our seats in the dining area. The dining experience was outstanding thanks to our attentive server and other dining staff. With Captain's Club, we enjoyed a menu to choose from, were served ahead of the general admission guests, and the food arrived quickly. During dinner, the show with the Rivertown Ramblers was energetic, also well-organized, and highly entertaining. The talented vocalists and musicians delivered a fantastic performance. The combination of the scenic cruise, great food, priority service, and live entertainment made for a memorable evening and one of the highlights of our Branson trip. I highly recommend the Showboat to anyone visiting and definitely upgrade to Captain's Club if you can.

They rent all that you need for fun on the lake…read more Pontoon boats, speed boats, skidoos, skis, tubes, etc etc... if it is for fun on the Jake they have it. One thing they don't have... enough parking! On holidays this place gets packed and there just is not enough parking. The help is almost all teenage kids... they are nice and helpful but are kids... and thus act like it and lose attention and all. However there are a lot of them so generally there is someone usually that can and will help. There is only one bathroom here... that is a problem... especially when people want to change before getting on the boats. TIP: COME PREPARED TO GET ON THE BOAT AND LEAVE THE BATHROOM FOR THOSE THAT NEED A BATHROOM! I mean you know your coming to get on the water... come ready! We rented two pontoon boats, some skis and two tubes for all of us. We rented everything for the day... not cheap but reasonable considering... and we had a blast! A good place to get your fun on the lake "supplies".

As first-time boat renters, we feel we were taken advantage of. We were charged for a new…read morepropeller, even though the boat didn't seem right from the moment we left the marina. It had noticeable vibrations the entire time, but as new renters, we had no idea that wasn't normal. It's very possible the propeller was already cracked before we took the boat out. At some point while we were boating, a piece apparently came off, but we had no way of knowing that had happened. When we asked about the age or history of the propeller, they refused to provide any information. They were also unwilling to negotiate or consider that the damage may have existed before our rental. My advice to anyone renting from them: inspect the boat carefully before leaving, take detailed photos and videos of the propeller and the entire boat, and return to the marina immediately if you notice anything unusual. Otherwise, you may end up being held responsible for damage you didn't cause. In our experience, the boats appear to be fairly worn, so documenting their condition before your rental is essential. I would not continue to pursue this matter if I believed, even for a moment, that we had caused the damage. If I thought we were responsible, I would accept that responsibility. I am only asking that Indian Point Marina fairly consider the possibility that a pre-existing condition or structural weakness existed before our rental and that this possibility be acknowledged as part of its evaluation of this claim.

I under estimated this boat ride. These boats have huge engines that move so fast on the water…read more Then they give you a warning that they are going to spin the boat in 360* turn. You can pay extra to sit in the first 3 rows. They say, "You will get wet." Well, when they did the turn, everyone on got a little wet. They also do this maneuver where they hit the brakes hard. When that happens, the front of the boat and the first 3 rows get a tsunami of water that literally feels like getting 50 gallons of water dumped you. I was awesome, but wow, you got 100% soaked. They pulled move 4 times. I will be going again but don't wear your hat or sunglasses. Also, if you bring your phone, I suggest putting it in a ziplock bag in your pocket. What a great time we had!!!

The fishing advice that I was given was spot on an exact . Within 15 minutes of fishing off the Rockaway Beach public Island that was in front of those resort, I caught my first rainbow a nice 15 incher. My daughter spent about a half an hour and caught a nice rainbow and a itty bitty bash. We rented a pontoon boat that ran perfectly and was in great shape. Following the instructions he gave us we slowed trolled and caught two trout right away. After my girlfriend caught her first fish I really was more concentrated on sightseeing than I was fishing. After about an hour of good luck the fishing tailored off and we cruised up from one end of the lake to the other just to see what was going on. The room was big, well-equipped with full sized stove and refrigerator a couch in the living room and in one of the bedrooms, nice TV basic cable. Our experience was wonderful in every single way you can measure it. If you're looking for a place to stay on taneycomo, please consider this place. It's not the Ramada, but if you're coming to taneycomo to fish you won't find a better place to stay all.

My family and I, along with families from Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Springfield, MO have been booking…read moreat least a weeks stay at Rainbow Haven Resort and Marina in Rockaway Beach, MO for over 20 years. We call each other our "vacation family" and our kids, and now my grandkids, have grown up together, learned to swim and made so many memories at this resort, that it is almost painful to create this post. We have outlasted 3 previous owners whom we also considered part of that "vacation family". They were welcoming people who did everything in their power to make a stay at Rainbow Haven Resort and Marina as memorable as it could possibly be. However, that all came to an abrupt end yesterday. Sometime in the early afternoon, we were told that they closed the books out every Saturday and we needed to pay our bill before the end of the day, just one of a string of BS lines that I completely don't believe, a day before we were to leave. So before I went to the office to pay I checked the website to verify the price of the room so that I knew approximately what I was going to be charged. BUT when I got in there I was charged around $50 more than I expected. Mind you we had already been told that the reason there were no BBQ grills on the decks any longer is because the insurance wouldn't pay if the place burned down and they had provided the grills, but if the guests brought their own it was ok. WHAT?!?!?!?! The next one was that we should have seen the pool 2 hours before we got there because "it was pea green". Speaking of the pool, you can see in the pictures below, what we had to deal with all week. It was not cleaned 1 single time after we got there on July 1 and still hadn't been cleaned when we left on July 9th. So an argument began regarding payment and I refused to pay anymore than what was stated on the website for the room. She continually told me that the website had been updated to which I replied, "I will bring it up and show you right now on my phone". Her reply about the dirty pool was, "You were in the pool everyday. Why didn't you tell us". "BECAUSE IT IS NOT MY RESPONSIBILITY TO TELL YOU TO CLEAN YOUR OWN POOL!!!!! I DON'T OWN THIS RESORT YOU DO!!" The argument with her ended with her stomping off into her house and telling me we were no longer welcome at Rainbow Haven Resort and Marina. I CANNOT abide liars and underhandedness and those 2 people are the epitomy of both words. The pictures below show just how bad the pool area was and the boat dock was such a joke that it took 2 people to get our boat out because you had to be a gymnast to maneuver around the kayak that was laying on the walkway obstructing it. The last straw was that they sat on their deck the entire time watching us AND called in some kind of "security wanna be's" to hang out while we were leaving. I really take offense to someone with guns on their belt hanging around while we had our grandsons with us and were only packing our stuff and leaving. I would caution EVERYONE to stay as far away from this place as possible and if you have made a deposit for a stay in the future, be prepared to not have it returned because the place is going on the market in October and at the price they are going to ask will not likely ever sell and they will wind up giving it back to the bank. They may be able to convince others that their lies are true, but I have learned quite a few things in my 50+ years and dealt with better liars and cheats than they have ever thought about being. PLUS, I have ran that resort for a couple of weeks at a time for more times that I can count and know how much work it takes to run it. But I did fine and did my full time job to boot!! It was the people that you came into contact everyday that made me go back again and again, whenever asked. I totally enjoyed it. So our Rainbow Haven days have come to an end but next year will bring a grand adventure that will create new memories!!!!
