catamaran at the lakes. If there's a way to adventure on the
water, the Ozarks have got you covered. State Park Marina at Table Rock
Lake is a convenient place to rent jet skis, fishing boats or water skis. Why
not parasail or scuba? Equipment is available and if you'd rather stay atop the
surface, a 48-foot catamaran makes for a fantastic day on the water. At Indian
Point Marina, also on Table Rock Lake, families can enjoy pontoon and deck boats
and can stock up on groceries and supplies. If you prefer to paddle, Lake Taneycomo
is for you. Kayak Branson offers kayaks, paddle boards and canoes on both
Taneycomo and Table Rock, but Taneycomo is far more popular for the gentler
water sports. Kayak Branson also provides both sunset and moonlight tours.
