The Branson/Lakes Area is naturally entertaining! The theaters and shows allow visitors to revel in the glittering lights and sparkling stars, but for some, a vacation means enjoying a slower, but equally entertaining pace. Escaping the world while listening to the rhythm of the waves in a peaceful cove, soaring over the water while parasailing or landing the catch that will be talked about for years to come are just some of the ways to enjoy the natural side of Branson's entertainment offerings.    Wildlife is plentiful in the Ozarks, and the lakes provide the perfect backdrop for spotting wildlife of all kinds. Frequent sightings include eagles, deer, wild turkeys, cranes and other water birds. Even during the busy summer months, visitors can find a private spot to drop in a fishing line or just enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The lakes' pristine waters never freeze, welcoming visitors year-round.    The nearby State Parks, National Forests and Conservation Areas provide a wealth of outdoor recreation activities set amidst the scenic splendor of the Ozark Mountains.
