Play it safe with outdoor recreation
Follow CDC guidelines, even when outdoors. We are not staffed to maintain/clean lake & park areas. Be cautious about touching anything. Sanitize and wash often. Practice social distancing.
Long Branch Lake Dam
Long Branch Dam was authorized by Congress in 1965 as a multi-purpose project for water supply, flood control, recreation, downstream water quality and fish/wildlife management. Construction began in 1973 and the dam was placed into operation in 1980.
Long Branch Lake Visitor Center
Long Branch Lake Visitor Center, Macon, Missouri is located on the east end of the dam. There are aquariums with fish and turtles, interative displays, a coloring station and lake information available.
Don't Move Firewood
Pests like the invasive emerald ash borer can hitchhike in your firewood. Help us prevent new forest pests from reaching our trees and forests. Do not transport firewood outside your county. Buy your firewood local, or gather on site.
