When you get to the actual lake, there is plenty of parking. The marina shop has scoops of ice cream, fountain sodas and many fishing supplies with a wooden deck right outside to take in the scenery. They also sell fish pellets to feed lots of catfish right outside.They have grills for cooking. A section off area for swimming. There are parking spots large enough for a truck pulling a boat. Picnic tables for a relaxing meal.Not a lot of boats on the water like some lakes.AWESOME kids playground right before you get to the lake with a shaded pavilion and lots of room to run away from the road. A water fountain with two spouts and a faucet below to either fill up a large water jug or let the kids play with. Walking trail that leads to the lake.One of the best places to stop in Macon.

My wife and I walked some trails that led up to the lake and eventually ended up at the beach! We had a great time, too bad the weather changed on us or we would have stayed longer...

Situated on the banks of Long Branch Lake, Long Branch State Park is an ideal recreation destination for water enthusiasts as well as nature lovers. Visitors can take advantage of all the recreation options the lake has to offer, or hike through a restored prairie.Access to Long Branch Lake is provided via three boat ramps, catering to visitors wanting to boat, water ski or find a quiet cove for fishing. The park's marina offers covered boat slips, boat rentals and a store. The lake has an excellent reputation for bass fishing, but anglers can also cast their lines for catfish and crappie. An accessible fishing dock is available. A sand swimming beach provides a terrific place for fun and sun.Eighty-three campsites, ranging from basic to electric, are located in a wooded area bordering the native prairie and near the lake. Nine secluded walk-in campsites are nestled near the lake's shore. Campground facilities include modern restrooms with hot showers.

A very nice family oriented lake. Has a good size swimming area and shallow enough for little ones to go out fairly far without concern. Very nice showers / restrooms, clean and well kept! Employee's and Host were very nice, and very good with the kids. I would return to this lake, we had a lot of fun there! Macon is only a mile and a half up the road and has any store you may need for supplies. The campgrounds were mowed and well kept. A little close together for my liking but many nice spots and lots of shaded spots too. FYI, If your a fisherman and you fish from shore, there are not a lot of spots you can get to. They frown upon parking on the grass or sides of the road. So plan on hiking a great distance to fish on shore! A boat is the way to go on this lake. I don't recommend walking the levee, people walk their dogs on it and DO NOT pick up after them...It stunk like dog poo!

Great place to spend the day! Only one way in & one way out, which made it hard to turn around. Loved the look-out stop.

Great fun for family, campers, boaters, skiers and beach goers. Campgrounds are adequate and are always full during the summer months.

I actually lived on Longbranch Lake and it's absolutely beautiful and under utilized. Not crowded and an unspoiled lake.

I've been to Long Branch SP alone and with friends many times throughout the seasons for several years. The campground is one of the best in Missouri for shady, semi-secluded sites.The lake attracts many kinds of birds--gulls (including some unusual species), ducks, geese, grebes, and even Snow Buntings. The restored prairie is a good introduction to that habitat.The wind can get pretty wicked at the park on a winter day, so if you wander around much there in winter, dress for it.The warning about the ranger is "spot on". The guy doesn't have much to do, so is really tough about people stopping cars on the dam to look at the birds, people going too fast, and even people parked where there are signs for no parking. Non-winterized restrooms are closed seasonally.

This is a great place for a family outing. The beach is well kept with updated picnic tables and shelters. Also a great place for camping.

We stumbled across this little piece of heaven last summer and can't get enough! Planning a trip back in 2 weeks! We love the walk-in tent sights because we can pull our boat right up to any of them you don't have to drive back and forth to the marina to use your boat, it is docked right off your own private beach ready when you are! Long Branch has several little island beaches scattered all over the lake and several are just wonderful to pull up to with the boat. Picnic and get so.e sun. Very clean and beautiful park and lake. The lake is very large and perfect for tubing or skiing all day. The swim beach is the nicest of all parks. Highly recommend staying here!
