Hot Times and Cooler Nights at the Paddlewheel

Posted on July 16, 2018July 13, 2019 by msm_admin

Have you been down to Main Street Marina since summer has started? Summer, so hot and humid, changes down on the Paddlewheel once the sun goes down. Lake Taneycomo is kept at 50° because the water that feeds Lake Taneycomo is directly off the bottom of Tablerock Lake. This makes Trout fishing amazing and helps to cool the breeze coming off the lake. Because of that, the air down on the lake is cooler than anywhere else in Branson. Sometimes you’ll see a fog arise from the surface of the water and when that fog comes across the Paddlewheel, you hear an almost audible “ahhh” from everyone as the cool envelopes the area. But we also have fans going to keep things comfortable at all times.

But just because we’re trying to cool ourselves down, doesn’t mean we don’t want to heat up the party! Most days of the week, you can find live music from our open mic night to DJ’s to local and regional bands, the music…rock & roll, country, soul, pop, latin…it’s all here! We have something for everyone! The drink features and the menu is always amazing. There are so many specials during the week; we want to Rock the Dock… Not your wallet!

Have you ever wondered why we say “Rock the Dock” at the Paddlewheel? If you have, then you haven’t been here when dancers crowd the dance floor because our dock literally rocks. You can feel the gentle, well, sometimes not so gentle, movement as the dock moves. It announces…the party is ON!

There is no better place to enjoy the water and the best Branson has to offer than at The Paddlewheel on Main Street Marina.

We look forward to seeing you soon!

Branson is very popular for group activities. We are the third largest drive to destination in the country and for Military reunions, we are the most popular location that isn’t on a coast in the United States. Main Street Marina has some great options to host special events for your group.

If you would like to get your group out on the water, we have several options available to you. For starters, we have two amazing boats to make your sightseeing special. The Princess is a 100-foot luxury yacht with two climate-controlled decks to make your trip quite comfortable and dinner options are available. You can also step on board the Lake Queen. The Lake Queen is a vintage style paddleboat that resembles those that roamed the waters in the early days of the Ozarks down the White River. There is no better way to see the beauty of Lake Taneycomo.

Private charters are available for both boats with professionally designed packages to make any experience perfect. Whether you are looking for a special place to hold a business meeting or seminar, dinner for a reunion group, or a rehearsal dinner for your wedding, we have it all right here for you at Main Street Lake Cruises on Main Street Marina.

If you have a small party and you want to be a part of the crowd on your special day we can also reserve a table for you as well. There are so many great bands and DJ’s playing at the Paddlewheel, you may want to be right in the thick of the fun and we can do that for you!

In addition to all of this, we also have water sports rentals available if you have a group, or just yourself, that wants to get out and play on the water. Call 417-239-3980 and ask for our groups department and we will get all of that taken care of for you.
