Branson Landing Fish House and Dock The Bass Pro boat dock and store that you see in this picture (above the Fish House) broke loose under the current, and floated into the Fish House. It was temporarily secured to the Fish House, but later broke loose again . The Fish House itself also started to move downstream. Massive temporary cables were then attached to the Fish House and anchored into the parking lot. Thanks to our emergency crews, the Fish House is temporarily secured, and a far worse disaster was prevented.
The larger dock was now free and floating into the main channel, headed for Powersite Dam. Emergency crews determined that due to the size of the dock and the strength of the current, nothing could safely be done but let it drift. As the large dock came around the last bend with the Powersite Dam in view, it drifted slightly out of the main current. Empire crews joined the emergency workers and were able to push the dock to the edge of a cove and resecure it temporarily, saving a far worse disaster of the large dock going over the Dam adjacent to the power station.
One smaller dock did go over the dam - it has not been seen since.
I like the local Forsyth resident’s comments concerning the Large Dock now anchored just above Powersite Dam, “Can we keep it - Can we keep It?” |
