Use the status source, not an old beach report

The Corps lists 16 designated swimming areas around Table Rock Lake. Conditions and closures can change, so the closure link—not a past report—is the source to check before leaving.

What the published hours do and do not say

USACE publishes Moonshine Beach hours of 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. It does not publish a promise that parking will remain available or that swimming conditions are suitable.
