Long Branch State Park was created by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources in 1983 after reaching a long term lease agreement with the Corps of Engineers for use of the land.[7] It features a wide variety of outdoor activities:

Boating: There are no horsepower restrictions on motors used on Long Branch Lake. Boaters must abide by all standard Missouri boating regulations however. Three paved launching ramps are located at various points along the lake shore. A marina is available as well.
Camping: Camping is allowed year-round although some services such as dump station, showers, potable water, and campsite reservations are limited to on-season camping (April through October). Eighty-three improved campsites are available for use, as well as other walk-in/hike-in unimproved sites at other locations in the park. In May 2012 free Wi-Fi access was added to the campground and select other areas of Long Branch State Park.
Fishing: Bass fishing is particularly popular at the lake, but walleye, crappie, and catfish are also found. A fishing dock is provided near the swimming beach. Bass and Walleye have length limits of fifteen and eighteen inches respectively. All other state fishing regulations apply.[9]
Hiking: Long Branch State Park has three trails for use, in lengths of .6 mile, 1.5 miles, and 7.5 miles.[10]
Picnicking: A variety of picnic sites are scattered throughout the park. Two open air picnic shelters are available for rental to accommodate larger gatherings. Playgrounds are provided at the south shelter and in the campground.[11]
Swimming & Water Skiing: A sand beach complete with volleyball court is located near the park campground. A changehouse is provided. No lifeguard is on duty. Water skiing is allowed in most areas of the lake.
Wildlife viewing: The large public acreage surrounding the lake provide many opportunities for viewing white-tailed deer, wild turkey, and migratory waterfowl.[12]b
