Pick A Season SHELL KNOB HAS ALL OF THEM

Southwest Missouri has all four seasons but generally enjoys moderate winter temperatures. Shell Knob is open all year around. Summer has always been a popular time to visit us. Consider coming in spring to see the all the new blossoms or the fall when colors can be spectacular by land or lake.

Nature is beckoning. As spring unfolds across the Ozarks, flowering trees including Dogwoods & Red Buds, show off their bright blossoms. Down the forested slopes, to the crystal-clear waters of Table Rock Lake, new life emerges. Stop at the scenic overlook north of Shell Knob and take a deep breath. A relaxing feeling washes over you as nature’s vista spreads out across the White River Valley, Shell Knob Mountain cloaked in green, gracing the horizon.

Summer fun in Shell Knob revolves around the lake. Imagine wake boarding across the smooth, glassy water on a warm, early morning. Imagine the smiles of children bouncing on a tube behind your boat as you cruise along on the quiet side of Table Rock Lake. As the sun climbs I the sky, find a peaceful cove where you can swim undisturbed in the clear, cool water. Relish that moment when a lunker largemouth bass engulfs your topwater lure at dusk.

Autumn is a special time in Shell Knob. As the season changes, the pace slows, and relaxation seems to come naturally. But there is still so much to do and experience. Fishing is still great on Table Rock Lake as seen every year at the annual Homer Sloan Buddy Bass Tournament held the first Saturday in October. Deer hunters come to seek the large number of deer in our National Forest.

Shell Knob cherishes its winter season. Quiet, peaceful, and beautiful. The mild winters provide good hunting and fishing opportunities with plenty of room to roam, both on Table Rock Lake and in the surrounding forests. Area hiking trails reveal an abundance of wildlife, songbirds, or a hiding waterfall.
