    Best time ever having Dave as a guide! We decided to last minute book a fishing guide experience and called Dave. He was more than willing to fit us in the next day. He was super knowledgable about the river and patient with us + walked us through the whole trout fishing experience. We ended up catching quite a few trout and had the best time. He also has a great personality and is easy to talk to! 10/10 recommend booking with him!

    Man what a great day! Was in town on vacation visiting family and my brother took my wife and I on a "boat ride" which turned out to be a surprise fishing trip with Dave. What an adventure. We motored up Lake Taneycomo all the way to the dam and just drifted back several miles with lines in the water pulling the trout in! Dave did all the work for us. I cannot wait to do this again. Thanks so much Dave for an awesome time.

    My daughter caught a very nice trout, had a great birthday surprise on the beautiful river, and we also got to see 4 bald eagles.

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.

    The canyon is huge but you can only appreciate the rugged part and the protected animal preserve by…read moretaking a tram tour. Our guide, "Jurassic Joe", was incredibly knowledgeable and provided a very detailed description of the history of the canyon and the original indigenous Americans who called the canyon home. The park is so large the tram ride takes you into Arkansas. Wonderful experience that we will do again with the grandkids.

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!
