Where to Dock your boat on “Y” Highway?

Ever driven Y Highway, Missouri from top to bottom? It is an interactive drive… to say the least. Consisting of about 17 miles and 300 plus sharp curves (I gave up counting at 228) it makes for an interesting trip pulling a boat. Life on Y Highway is not always simple for a typical homeowner who happens to have a boat, as many do. The draw to living on Table Rock Lake often includes boating recreation. There are few choices for boat dock ownership and few  – none that I am aware of rental slips.

Until Hideaway Marina came along. A perfect affordable opportunity for a homeowner in the area to dock a boat for the summer or year.  This would reduce traffic on Y and certainly alleviate the boat traffic up and down this stretch of beautiful Missouri roadwork. Tourists are HIGHLY unlikely to use this option for a dock. There are many more useful and far easier and closer docks without the long drive. In fact few folks other than locals are even aware of Y Highway and Hideaway Marina.

The convenient store at the Marina is an asset to the area and makes life that much easier for those in the area who are 20 long miles from a gallon of milk or a roll of TP.,,

The long time local owners of Hideaway Marina are dedicated to preserving the integrity and beauty of Table Rock Lake and the Y Highway area for themselves, their neighbors and friends, and future generations who also deserve to experience this unparalleled part of the Ozarks we all know and love. If you have never been to this top notch, clean and friendly Marina make it a point to do so.

Hideaway Marina zoning issues with Stone county may prevent any possibility of boat dock rentals to property owners.

Shoreline Cleanup for Table Rock Lake 4-4-9

Each Year hundreds of volunteers from around Table Rock Lake and visitors to the region converge on the shoreline for the annual trash pick-up on the weekend of the first Saturday in April. This year the Table Rock Lake Marina Association is proud to be the major funding sponsor of the cleanup! On the last Saturday in September and smaller clean-up event is also held where only trash-bag sized debris is picked up. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on Table Rock Lake supplies trash bags, dumpsters, tire and appliance removal and personnel. Volunteers organize teams including girl and boy scouts, Missouri and Arkansas stream teams, homeowner’s associations, civic organizations, College of the Ozarks students, retired individuals, business employees, marinas, resorts, families, and other environmentally concerned citizens. Each volunteer receives a shoreline cleanup t-shirt and a camping voucher for Table Rock Lake U.S. Army Corps campgrounds. The only way a project of this magnitude can be done is with the help of the dedicated sponsors and volunteers! Anyone interested in participating in the cleanup please call Gopala at 417-739-4100. You can print out the Sign-up Sheet and Trash Tracking Form to turn in to the Table Rock Lake Water Quality office for your T-shirts upon completion of the shoreline cleanup or you may sign-up you and your team online.
