Take
Highway 65 south about 38
miles, then exit at
Highway 76 (Branson).
Turn right (east) at
the top of the exit ramp
and follow 76 east for 6
miles. You will go through
town, cross Lake Taneycomo
and turn left after the
bridge. After the long
hill and some curves, you
will also pass a golf
course and new
developments on the right.
Shortly after passing
a small school
(Kirbyville), turn right
(south) onto county road
J. Follow J for about 6
miles, and then go
straight through the
four-way intersection
(a MO Department of Conservation sign
points toward the
Mincy Conservation Area
for a turn to the right).
You should enter a
gravel road and see yellow
Department of Conservation
signage at a first open barway/gate. You will later pass
through a second bar gate, which is
usually locked, but open
for special events.
Researchers and
instructors require
permission from the
Director to gain access
during other times.
Follow the gravel road
for 4 miles until you
reach the field station.
You will see our sign and
the large stone house
overlooking the lake
