Splash Down at Stonewater Cove Resort and Club - 25 March 2010

Your sense of warm-weather fun may have lain dormant through these cold, dreary winter months, but the time has finally come to unleash your hidden water-lover. Plan your dream lake vacation to Stonewater Cove Resort and Club, an exclusive, Missouri resort ideally situated along Table Rock Lake in the Mark Twain National Forest, and revel in the endless fun of water activities.

Nestled in an area known as the “quiet side of Table Rock Lake,” Stonewater Cove Resort and Club features 18 individually designed rooms or suites and a stunning stone and wood lodge – all carefully crafted to ensure that discerning travelers can explore the untarnished forest and waters, yet still relax and rejuvenate in luxe splendor. Table Rock Lake, whose shoreline is owned by the Army Corps of Engineers, strictly limits dock spaces and boat sizes, helping to ensure calm, smooth waters and a quiet, peaceful ambiance. Amid this 500-acre outdoor playground, nature enthusiasts can experience these lake activities:

• Water Sports: Test your agility, strength and balance with by trying out our wakeboards, kneeboards, water skis, slalom skis, or tubes. More advanced water skiers can try the tournament slalom ski course, just three minutes from the resort via boat.
• Boating: Choose from our professionally-guided Chris Craft, Mastercraft, Cobalt of Nitro boats to enjoy a leisurely cruise along Table Rock Lake or to attempt more strenuous water activities. Or, experience the adrenalin-rush of the Jazz boat (a jet boat) that can take you for a quick, thrilling dunk in the water.
• Canoeing, Kayaking: Take a complimentary canoe or kayak out on the lake to enjoy the serene waters, the graceful hills and elegant trees that comprise the surrounding scenery or the craggy rocks that dot the shoreline.
• Swimming: Go for a leisurely, safe swim off our special dock, perfectly shaped like a pool, so you can enjoy the warm sun and cool water. Or, you can opt for a dip in our swimming pool and spend the day resting on our comfortable outdoor furniture.
• Fishing: Pit your wits against the blue gills, catfish and bass that live in the clear waters of Table Rock Lake by fishing off the resort’s dock or by letting our concierge arrange a professionally guided bass-fishing trip for you.

As if the myriad water activities weren’t enough, guests can also enjoy land-based fun in the enchanting, untarnished forest. Professional and friendly guides can take you on a popular ATV tour, zip-line or ropes course or teach you the tricks of archery, skeet shooting or tree climbing. Handcrafted trails offer numerous opportunities for hikes or bike riding. Or, search for a quiet meadow to stretch out and read a good book. Nature discovery or photography hikes can expose the hidden wonders of the wilderness. When the day is done, stop by the warm bonfire for some stargazing and s’mores.

The conclusion of a busy day in the great outdoors at Stonewater Cove Resort and Club brings a quiet evening of leisurely pursuits—board games, fireside chats, and post-dinner cocktails at The Lounge—before guests retire to one of the resort’s 18 individually-designed rooms or suites, each of which incorporates the indigenous beauty of the natural world into a spacious, peaceful space adorned with aesthetically pleasing coffered ceilings, handsome dark wood floors, and custom-made driftwood furniture.
