Because it’s jam-packed with so many attractions and so much to do, Branson might seem like an absolutely massive town. However, in reality, its population of just over 11,400 earns it status as a small town. And…a charming small town it is, bursting with a ton of fun things to do and so many outdoor attractions you won’t know where to start to explore. In fact, Branson has more outdoor attractions than just about any other small town in the state.
Branson attracts Missourians and tourists from all over the world with its impressive selection of activities, many of them outdoors. If you’re looking for outdoor fun, you can’t go wrong with a trip to Branson.

Summertime means spending time at Table Rock Lake and, if you’re up for a beachy-type of day, make your way to Moonshine Beach. It’s perfect for sunbathing, swimming, and picnicking.

Sometimes, however, we just want to hang out at a good old-fashioned outdoor waterpark. Branson offers a few, including Splash Country Indoor & Outdoor Waterpark, Castle Rock Resort and Waterpark, and White Water.
