Confirmed from Table Rock State Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Popular lakeside recreation area offers boat rentals, camping, biking & hiking trails & a store.
What runners say about Table Rock State Park
“This is a nice & well maintained state park.”
“Such a lovely place to visit, had a a walk through the woods and walk along the stones, beautiful views.”
“It was close to drive into Branson and do fun activities but then come back and enjoy the quiet.”
Worth the visit!!!! I probably spent the most time exploring this park and still haven’t appreciated it. There is a marina which is decent in size, another part of the park includes a lake with large beach area. So beautiful!!! Spent most of my time at the beach hiking and collecting odd shapes rocks!
This is one of the best campgrounds we've ever stayed at! The staff love the campground and you can tell they do because of how well they take good care of it! The bathrooms are immaculate, nice hot water and toilets with hand soap provided and air dryers.
Simply beautiful! Table Rock lake is an incredible sight, with more shoreline than the ENTIRE state of California! My family and I found an abundance of nature trails and saw a wide variety of interesting plant and animal life.
This is a nice & well maintained state park. A well maintained asphalt hike & bike trail along the lakeshore. Some of the sites are small but accommodates 4 to 6 people around the fire.
