We stayed on the bluff overlooking Lake Taneycomo at Cooper Creek Resort. They have a small dock/boathouse on the water. We spent more time there, in a rocking chair than we did at the campsite. For some reason, just sitting there, rocking and listening to the waves hit the pilings was so relaxing. I'm sure you'll enjoy your time there. And as for bringing home a freezer full of trout, we ate all we caught. They just taste so much better when they're fresh from the water
