Get a sense of the work ethic and religious ideals that prop up the culture of this intriguing town. Wander around the college campus on Point Lookout and enjoy the views of the creek.

Go fly fishing on Lake Taneycomo for rainbow and brown trout. Climb up tree-laden hills for the best views of the town and the water.
