lost canyon nature trail and cave

The tour via golf cart was great fun and even at this time of year, beautiful. We want to see it with the dogwood in bloom. Johnny Morris' vision for guests is remarkable and he appears to be EVER striving to satisfy his guests. Well worth the time.

We have two teenage boys, so we decided we would take the guided tour today and hike this trail instead of riding in the golf cart. I will explain the difference! When I read the literature, I thought we would be getting a "guided" tour, so I thought the information would be useful to my boys, but as it turns out, it was just a nice lady that walked with us. She did not provide any information regarding the area, or the discovery of this cave or trail. I also chose to hike because I thought that you would be rushed along in the golf cart, and I wanted to be able to stop and take pictures at my leisure. Some of the literature also led me to believe that you could go "off trail" and see more sights by taking the walking trail...NOT SO! By walking, you take the exact same trail, and the people in the golf carts were stopping as they pleased to take pictures. It's the same cost, there is no informative guide, and the trail is very steep at times in both directions. We are all in good shape, and it's less than three miles, but in the end - I wish I would have taken the cart! I should also add that very few people hike this, there are at least four areas where your feet WILL get wet, and that was a bummer for some in our group who did not bring extra shoes!As for the scenery - it's nice, but it was not all created by Mother Nature, but I did enjoy it!

This was an outstanding little adventure on a Johnny Morris property. He does things right. The cart path was paved and gave us many picture opportunities. We did many things in Branson and this was one of our favorites. Don't miss it. You can purchase a combo ticket for the Lost Canyon and the museum. We had a great time.

Definitely worth every dollar! My husband and I loved every second of it. The views were great! Many waterfalls and rivers along the path, and overall just a beautiful area. They were doing some construction in the area which took a little away from the views in a couple areas, but the other sections more than made up for the construction! My one issue is that there were not enough pull-off areas for those who wanted to take photos, so others could pass them on the path. Would definitely do it again!

Driving the cart around the site and enjoying the attractions with the amazing views is the perfect day to spend. The cave and bar inside is so cool and very different, something you will never have done before. Just remember to have cash for buying drinks at the cave bar.

We enjoyed a pleasant golf cart ride along a paved trail with waterfalls, a cave and gorgeous Ozarks scenery.

Beautiful place to spend some time. A little expensive but its secluded and you would feel like your alone, a good thing.

I'd like to try the segways. Scenery is gorgeous. If you don't want to walk, you can ride on the tram. Or you can go horseback which is always fun.

This was fun, you drive yourself on the golf cart and the waterfalls are beautiful and when you enter the cave you can stop at the cave bar and get yourself a nice cold adult beverage!

We thoroughly enjoyed this golf cart drive through beautiful scenery and through a cave with waterfalls great value for $20. It can be done in 35 minutes or you can take more than an hour.

Being surrounded by nature is awesome by itselg, but this canyon is certainly unexpectedly beatiful in so many ways

This Nature trail and cave are such a delightful excursion! My husband and I were in the area, celebrating his birthday and this tour was one of the gifts I gave him. We BOTH enjoyed the experience immensely. The golf cart is a nice means to navigate the trail. Organized hiking tours are also available at designated times. The scenery was just spectacular this time of year. Heck, I'm sure it's quite lovely at any time of year. Well worth the $20 per person fee. We will return with friends and family.

This was a beautiful ride in an electric cart up and down the rolling hills around Top of the Rock. The carts hold either 2 or 4 people and you drive yourself. The scenery is amazing with many waterfalls and a cave you drive right through. There is a bar near the entrance to the cave where you can stop if you wish. We did this in October when the leaves were changing color and it was beautiful, but I'm sure it would be just as nice in spring or summer.

The Lost Canyon and Nature Trail and Cave is part of the Top of the Ozarks complex located 10 minutes south of Branson. You start the tour off at the welcome center when you're issued a golf cart with your admission fee. The trail goes through the hills and valleys of the area, taking you past waterfalls and into a cave to sweeping overlooks. The trail is wide enough for you to park to allow others pass. We enjoy taking photos, so the ability to go at our own pace was great. After you're finished at the nature trail, you can take a free shuttle to the Top of the Ozarks complex where you can take in views of Table Rock Lake and the surrounding area.
