Empire District Park in Forsyth Missouri

I decided to take some time off today and hang out in local park here in Forsyth Missouri. It's called empire Park by the locals and comprises a large area of manicured lawns next to Taneycomo Dam where some of the best trout fishing in the United States can be had. This is because the water is really cold. It comes down strezm from the base of Table Rock dam by Branson and feels like it is freezing. I guess the fish like it, however. Personally, I like to come down to walk on the well maintained concrete path that cuts throught the middle of the park. alsong the way there are benches to rest on or you can just find yourself a nice patch of grass and watch the boats go back and forth. Scttered strategically around are picnic tables, some of which are covered. There are also restrooms, boat launch areas and plenty of good spots to fish from shore if you want. At this time of year (November), we still get fdays that see 60F or better. The park on such days is lees crowded and affords anyone a chance to get out to commune with nature. did I mention there are a lot of ducks here also. I counted over 60 during my walk earlier today. So, if you live nearby and have some spare time, please come on out and enjoy! You can view a video on this topic at 'Empire District video'.
