(Branson, MO) Moonshine Beach, a day-use park on the north end of Table Rock Dam, will not open as planned on Memorial Day Weekend. The scheduled opening has been pushed back because recent repeated rains delayed construction.
Moonshine Beach is being relocated because of the construction of the Auxiliary Spillway. The new beach will be located just north of the old beach, utilizing the same entrance road as in the past off Missouri Highway 165. The launch ramp will be closed during the 2003 recreation season as spillway construction continues.
The Corps will advise the public when a new opening date is determined. Park Ranger Rodney Raley said the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is tentatively planning a dedication ceremony for the new Moonshine Beach on July 1.
