Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 70 reviews
Lilleys' Landing is a peaceful, scenic resort and marina on Lake Taneycomo five minutes from the middle of Branson. Lilleys’ rents jon, pontoon and bass boats for two hours, five hours or a full-day. Lake Taneycomo offers some of the best trout fishing in Missouri. Fishing from our dock is free. We have a fly and tackle shop with everything you need to fish Lake Taneycomo. Guided fishing trips are another great way to learn the lake and trout fishing!

We went visited Branson and we were looking for renting a boat to go fishing, after looking on several places, we found Lilley’s Marina and decided to give it a try. We rented a pontoon for 4 hours and it was amazing. The only tip I can give is that get there with some time before you start your trip for registration and buying fishing licenses (if needed)

This was our first trip to Branson. To be honest Branson itself seems to have seen better days. We saw plenty of closed theaters, attractions, restaurants, etc. Maybe the theater generations are dying off. Lots of low end motels, putt putt, and family attractions. Best part of trip was spending time at Table Rock Lake. Make sure to reserve your boat weeks in advance. We were able to get wave runners for a couple days. We had a large group and the State Park Marina was very accommodating letting us go drop people off at the cliffs and then come back and get the next group. The young men working the docks were very helpful. It is a beautiful lake and fun to boat on.

I've gone kayaking several times here this summer, with the last time a couple weeks ago. The employees are friendly and knowledgeable. The area to kayak goes near the Nature Center, so much of it is scenic. Sometimes there are limited amount of kayaks available, so it is wise to call ahead. You can rent by the hour, 4 hours, or by the day. There are various trails that you can hike or jog when you are done kayaking.
5. Mermaid Cove Marina Rv & Resort
Over 50 beautiful acres located in the serene West side of the Lake of the Ozarks. Family friendly and fun! Full service RV park, marina, gas dock and more!
