Table Rock Dam & Dewey Short Visitor Center
Table Rock Dam
A concrete dam that holds back Table Rock Lake. The nearby visitor center and trout hatchery are free to visit.
The dam was completed in 1958 by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the road across its crest offers views of the lake on both sides. The Dewey Short Visitor Center covers the ecology of the Ozarks and the history of the dam, and it has a lakeside path. Below the dam, the Shepherd of the Hills Trout Hatchery is the largest trout farm in Missouri, where you can see the fish ponds and feed the fish. Both are free and located close to the show boat dock.
Opening hours
Visitor center about 9:00 am–5:00 pm (shorter in winter)
