Branson Map (PDF)

This map is color coded and it will help you to use the outer roads and miss the traffic on Highway 76. It shows Theaters, Attractions, Hotels, Retail Shopping, Golf Courses and Eating Spots.

Green Route

This main route runs from Interstate 65, the way most visitors arrive in Branson on Highway 76, through the Entertainment District and toward Silver Dollar City. It’s best to avoid traveling directly on the Green Route during peak seasons in Branson, especially before and after live shows. Most show times are 10 a.m., 2 p.m., and 8 p.m. and last around two hours.

Red Route

The “fast track” through Branson, this route runs approximately parallel to the Entertainment District along the north. Most of the Red Route is on State Highway 248, which is also called the Shepherd of the Hills Expressway within the city limits.

Yellow Route

Running parallel to the strip along the south, this route takes visitors along Green Mountain Drive, Wildwood Drive, and Fall Creek Road. There are also several Branson condos and motels located along the Yellow Route, as well as restaurants and attractions that are off the main drag and may be less crowded.

Blue Route

The least straightforward of Branson’s color-coded routes (but still clearly labeled), the Blue Route starts and ends on the Entertainment District and runs east to west between the Red and Green Routes. If you’re headed for a particular point on the Entertainment District but traffic is heavy, the Blue Route is the way to go. There are several cross streets that connect it with the Entertainment District.
