One of Branson, Mo greatest gems is this pretty little lake.
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.

Make more friend with the fly-fishermen by telling them where all the great fishing holes are without disturbing the fish.
