Brief Description
Shell Knob is an active lake resort area and it boasts of pristine nature trails and lake view area. Most of the people here are retirees, part-time vacation home residents, and young families. Shell Knob remains very much a small town but is close to the larger cities of Springfield, Branson, and Monett. Shell Knob summers are extremely hot and humid and it has very little rain so most of the plants dry up by the month of July. Because of the lack of rain showers, even the grass does not grow. The winters here are frigid while spring and fall do not happen long enough.
