Ya theres several restaurants on the lake. My fav is at the back of campbell point marina its called port grill. But youll wait a couple of hours for food on the holidays. Heres a crappy pic of the swings(where we hang out) and one of my boat come by and say Hi if ya see me out

Chris

where is that marina from the kimberly city bridge?

Its west about 10 -11 miles in shell knob. well worth the drive!

OK I found a map with both KC bridge and campbell point marked

Chris

there is also a new restaraunt @ Big M Marina. Haven't been there yet but hear it is good as well.

how far is that from the dam?

If you want to stay close to the kimberling bridge theres Ahoys and the Bearded Clam [ sounds more like a strip club] but its a rest. with a outside bar. They both have docks out front. If your near the Dam you can go to the Long creek area they had a small rest. there but no bar I'm not even 100% sure its still there. Also near the dam is Indian point which has a little burger place and Rock lane Lodge had a dock and rest. but I haven't been there in awhile. I live by the bridge so I know more about Ahoys and the clam.

It is a long dam way. Look for marker 23 or 24. It is between the two of them.

Don't be surprised if there are long waits and bad service at any of the places in Kim City. It's usually bad on non holiday weekends.

The dam is about 12 miles or so from the Kim City Bridge. The swing is about 8 miles or so in the other direction. Down by the dam you can go to The Chateau on the Lake for fine dining and spirits (way too classy for me) or past the dam on south about 5-6 miles is Big Cedar with has the best Sunday brunch around. I have also been told that you can leave your boat at Big Cedar and they will shuttle you to Top of the Rock to eat (I suppose you could bring your clubs, but I usually don't carry them on the boat.

Have a great weekend everyone.

I'll get up there some time again, had fun last yr.

Ran with a loaded up Baja down river for a while- was it one of you guys? I've got an American flagged 28 Pantera.

Chris- where you boating this weekend? We've got room in the boat or at the house.

We are in Kimberling City, just SE, overlooking the bridge. Daughter has ruptured eardrum so not sure we will make it down this weekend.
