Lake Guide

Bull Shoals Lake

The largest of the Ozark Twin Lakes, Bull Shoals Lake is a favorite family, fishing, and group vacation destination in Arkansas. Created by damming the White River, this magnificent body of clear blue water is surrounded by 1,000 miles of beautiful mountain shoreline. Glass smooth surfaces make Bull Shoals Lake perfect for clear water skiing and wake boarding. The lake's incredible visibility for scuba diving has earned it the title, "The Caribbean of the Midwest." Visitors enjoy sailing, skiing and boating on the hundreds of miles of lake arms and coves. With over 72,100 acres of water surface at high level, Bull Shoals Lake has room enough for everyone.

Set in the scenic Ozark Mountains of northern Arkansas and southern Missouri, nineteen developed parks around the shoreline provide campgrounds, boat launches, swim areas, and marinas. Sixty thousand acres of public land provide a variety of other opportunities.
