Dewey Short Visitor Center 4500 Historic Highway 165, Branson, MO 65616

"Rode the like side trail from campground 2 to here. Beautiful view of the dam and lake. Very interesting information about the dam and the local wildlife."

"Great start for visitors, lots of information on Branson, the lakes, and animals found there. All the Volunteers and workers were very nice and helpful.. Great tour and view of the lake!!"

"Very interesting visitor center with tons of information about the nearby dam, it's history, construction, and the power it generates as well as facts about wildlife in and around Table Rock Lake. There's a lookout on the third floor and nature/history exhibits on the lower level. The second level had an interesting AR sandbox where you can change the terrain and understand watersheds better. Unfortunately there is no gift shop or hiking medallions for the nearby trails."

"The people who work here are so friendly and polite! They have a 3-story view of the lake, and either a glass elevator to get between floors or stairs. There are exhibits about the local wildlife, water creatures, how the dam makes electricity, the flooding that prompted the dam's creation, the area's history, and quite a few interactive exhibits for the kids to play with. There are public restrooms inside. Theres a garden outdoors full of native plants and trees. There is plenty of parking and the visitor's center is free to visit. I highly recommend it, it is definitely worthwhile and it's nice and cool in there as well."

"Very nice visitor center. Over the dam. Near the lake Moonshine Beach. Lots of parking. Nice restrooms and the staff were awesome. If only there was free coffee...wait, was there? Don't think I saw any. Simple hiking trails nearby too."
