TRI - LAKES HOUSEBOAT
RENTALS
Tri-Lakes Houseboat Rentals offers accomodations at a vacation spot close to home on clean,clear Table Rock Lake nestled in the Ozark Mountains at the Port of Kimberling and provides quick access to music shows, Silver Dollar City, or other attractions of Branson. You have over 800 miles of shore line toexplore and the lake offers fishing, scuba diving, water skiing, andswimming. A houseboat can easily tow a fishing boat or ski boat. If you want to rent a fishing boat or ski boat, these are available from the local marina .(What's Up Dock?) FISHING- Fishing can either be accomplished from the deck of the houseboat while lounging in a deck chair or from a tag along fishing boat. Spring is an excellent time for the fisherman as the white bass are running in the James River Arm of the lake. Fall also offers excellent fishing as the water starts to cool back down from the summer.
WATER SKIING - Nothing could be better than that early morning ski when the water is smooth as glass. It can't be any closer than walking out of your houseboat door to board your ski boat moored along side. There are many coves around the lake which allows the skier to find smooth water. For the skier who likes a challenge there are usually some slalom courses to choose from. SWIMMING- Table Rock Lake is beautiful, clean, clear lake and swimming is possible anywhere on the lake from your boat or at the swim areas in the Public Use areas. Another favorite is the rope swing where the swimmer can swing out from the rocky bluff and drop into the cool water. For your added swimming pleasure, each houseboat unit not features a water slide. DINING OUT - There are at least five restaurants located at various points that can be reached by water. It will require a short walk to reach them as our lake is a Corp of Engineers lake and the edge of the lake is public lands. DINING IN - Each houseboat is equipped with a propane BBQ, stove with oven and microwave, coffee maker, toaster. Food supplies can be kept in the refrigerator with freezer or the 100 qt ice chest.
RENTAL UNITS- The houseboat units are available in three different sizes to accommodate the various group sizes.
