We walked the easy paved trail along the shoreline and saw plenty of wildlife along the way, plus you get some beautiful views of Table Rock Lake. The visitor center is worth checking out too, especially if you're traveling with kids. There are interactive exhibits and activities inside, and it's completely free to visit. A nice way to slow down and enjoy a little time outdoors during a Branson trip!

Grab some quarters to feed their fish and take a little time to walk through the reptile exhibit. We got to look at a two headed snake! My husband went fly fishing, and the best part, parking and entrance is free! We really enjoyed learning about the fish and taking in nature.

The Shepherd of the Hills Fish Hatchery is a 5-star stop that's both super educational and…read moreenjoyable for all ages. The facility is very clean, well-maintained, and clearly takes pride in its upkeep. Walking through the hatchery and seeing the trout in the raceways is a unique experience, and the informational displays make it easy to learn about conservation and fish production. The staff are friendly, helpful, and add to the welcoming atmosphere. It's a great spot right outside the main Branson strip that's worth taking the time to visit.

Just had a rather negative experience there. We were confused as to where to purchase tickets for…read moretours. We went in with questions and waited for the people in front of us to make their purchases for the trolley. She was a little curt with them about making up their minds about which trolley they'd be on since the trolleys were waiting on them. Now, I've been told by more than a few that the great people of Eureka Springs are never in a hurry so don't expect it. We were also informed that the trolleys are not on a specific time schedule, but you can expect them every 35-40 min. So who cares which one they take? Now it was our turn. We asked about which tours were available and she looked at us like we were idiots. "That's seasonal" with a dismissive tone. We then asked about what the prior guests purchased. She informed us that the trolley tickets were the only thing available to purchase there. You can get tours from other places online only. There is a map placed right in front of the register and the credit card machine is right in front of it so I scooted it over to see it a little better. You would have thought I picked it up to throw it. She about came unglued and reprimanded me for moving it. "THESE WIRES ARE VERY SENSITIVE, DON'T MOVE THIS!". Well maybe try not putting it in front of the map? Maybe don't put a map there as there are several other maps? Seriously lady, maybe you shouldn't be in the front area. Maybe you should be behind the scenes. You're a little on the rude side of life, not fit for public interaction.

It's an amazing place with waterfalls, a stream for fishing, and several caves. The artifacts on…read moredisplay are interesting and well done. In general, it's a very peaceful place. There is guided or self-guided fishing and guided tours via tram or self-guided tours via bike or walking. There is a restaurant on site in the mill building. There is wildlife along the way and there are herds of Bison and elk as well as some Texas longhorn cattle. The park straddles the Missouri - Arkansas boarder. It is well worth the time you spend there.

On a Monday morning in April we (I, mother and daughter) set out to cruise through the glorious…read morecanyon on wheels. Feeling a bit hesitant at first to do it on bike but it was the best feeling. It was a perfect 68, clear skies and lilac blooms along the way. The perfection was almost overwhelming. A tram is also available for a round trip adventure but the bike was just too fun to pass up. Along the way we saw all kinds of little critters, snakes, fish and birds. Stopped at the tree house, chapel and most of the waterfalls. On bike with all the stops about 2 hours, walking could easily be 3+. Bikes are $15 each and I highly recommend getting there early so you have your pick cause the good ones go fast. Some have baskets and you should get one of those and then fill it with a picnic lunch. Little under $20 per person for entry, with discounts for veterans, seniors and children. Large parking but the place is popular, so again if possible arrive early.

Then we drove around a little and found parking areas at campsites close to the river so we could get other views. The ranger did tell us that we could get more places if we had 4WD. We stayed mostly in the middle and lower sections. I wish we'd gone at night for the night sky but wasn't aware of it at the time and needed to move on to our next destination. We will be back in the future to enjoy more of the river and the park.

It's a small place but just great. That gets a 5 star rating. The lady at the front desk was curt. My wife had to quiz her to get any info. She was short. We wanted to do a river trip, but ended up going with a competitor with friendly and helpful staff. Another problem... power went out at night. We called the office and left a message to call us when they opened. We called the emergency number and got a message that no messages could be left... goodbye... After 8 AM we called the office again and got the same, no message could be left, goodbye. Never heard back from anyone. In all fairness, there were two people behind the desk. One seems nice. This reflects the fact that one employee can ruin the entire experience.
