点评:Super nice folks. Easy to book. Scenic. We kayaked Lake Taneycomo in Branson. It was a wider body of water than what we normally like, but it was very enjoyable. There were motor boats, but very respectful. Saw tons of geese, a bald eagle, and water is very clear in parts where you can easily spot fish.
Only had two issues really and they were not big deals. One, my seat was broke so it caused me to shift a lot to keep from getting poked by the hard plastic. A larger person probably would have been miserable. The second, while not an issue with the outfitter, we were given a map to a hiking trail and caves that we could explore. However there is no marking or signage along the water to let you know that you have arrived at the spot. We were told that the Corp or whoever doesn't allow signage, so maybe some additional landmarks on the map might be helpful in finding the trail head...which we actually did end up finding, but you would really need hiking boots, walking sticks and proper gear to get to the trail. The climb was more than we were equipped to take.
The float itself was nice. We did 8 miles from the Hatchery to just before Branson's Landing. The water is very cold year round as it is released from the bottom of the Dam of Table Rock Lake. Lots of fishermen especially in the narrower parts, must be watchful to avoid lines and fishermen standing in water. The folks at the outfitter and shuttle driver are very nice and informative.
翻译:当地人超级好。预订很容易。风景优美。我们在布兰森的塔尼科莫湖划皮划艇。水域比我们平时喜欢的水域要宽阔,但非常享受。那里有摩托艇,但非常尊重动物。看到了成群的鹅和一只白头鹰,而且有些地方的水很清澈,很容易就能看到鱼。
其实只有两个问题,而且都不是什么大问题。第一,我的座椅坏了,我不得不不停地挪动身体,以免被硬塑料戳到。体型较大的人可能会很痛苦。第二,虽然装备商没有问题,但他们给了我们一张地图,上面有一条徒步小径和一些我们可以探索的洞穴。但是,沿途没有任何标记或指示牌来提示你已经到达目的地。我们被告知,公司或其他机构不允许设立路标,所以地图上一些额外的地标或许能帮助我们找到步道的起点……我们最终确实找到了,但要到达步道,你真的需要登山靴、登山杖和合适的装备。爬山的路程超出了我们的装备能力。
漂流本身很棒。我们从孵化场漂流了8英里,一直漂到布兰森码头附近。由于水是从桌岩湖大坝底部泄出的,所以湖水常年都很冷。很多垂钓者,尤其是在较窄的水域,必须小心谨慎,以免被鱼线和站在水中的垂钓者绊倒。装备商和班车司机都非常友好,而且知识渊博。
