If you’re looking for ideally-located lake homes for rent, look to Table Rock Lake, in southwestern Missouri. Constructed by the Army Corps of Engineers in 1958, Table Rock Dam and Table Rock Lake have been drawing attention and praise to the region for years. From premium fishing to competitive hunting to luxurious indulgence, Table Rock Lake really does offer something for everyone.

Table Rock Lake is nestled in the foothills of the Ozark Mountains, which provide a spectacular backdrop for any adventure on the lake. Anglers, in particular, appreciate the lake’s almost 800-mile shoreline of pristine waters. Bass fishing is very popular at Table Rock Lake, where hooks are baited to catch Kentucky spotted bass, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, and white bass, in addition to crappie, catfish, and large bluegill. Make a point to head out on the lake in early spring, just before the spawning season, to find the Kentucky spotted bass and largemouth bass meandering about the many feeder creeks and around the base of cedar trees.

Anglers may prefer to admire their fish dangling from the end of a line, but many scuba divers take to the waters of Table Rock Lake to observe the vibrant and varied sea life in its natural environment. Underwater rock formations, valleys, and tunnels beg to be explored by anyone willing to take the plunge. Homes for sale (homes for rent) on Table Rock Lake have full access to all the splendor the lake has to offer. In addition to fishing, licensed hunting is permitted on federally-owned lands surrounding the lake. A simple day of swimming is all many lake goers could ask for, but some kick it up a notch by water tubing, wake boarding, pontooning, jet skiing, and generally living it up with a splash.

Dry off from your morning cannonball and head to the links: you have eight pristine golf courses to choose from at Table Rock Lake. The Payne Stewart Golf Club, StoneBridge Resort, Ledgestone at StoneBridge, Murder Rock Golf Club, Top of The Rock, Thousand Hills Golf Course, Kings River Golf Course, and Kimberling City Golf Club are all within a pleasant drive from the lake.

Table Rock Lake can be found between the scenic Ozark Mountains of Missouri and Arkansas, just west of Branson and south of Springfield Missouri, covering roughly 43,000 acres throughout the Ozark Mountains. The lake, being an impoundment of the White River, is mainly fed by water exiting Beaver Dam. The dam maintains an average elevations ranging from 947 to 896 feet above mean sea level.

Table Rock Lake is surrounded by roughly 750 miles of shoreline, providing excellent boating opportunities. The clear waters of Table Rock have been described as being "smooth as glass" within the many coves, and the many underwater rock bluffs attract considerable numbers of skin divers to the lake.
