Join
area residents in enjoying big Bull Shoals Lake. You
won’t be crowded, but you won’t be alone, because
you'll find a society of fishermen, boaters, skiers, divers,
and sail boaters. Bull Shoals Lake is the centerpiece of
the South Shore region’s outdoor lifestyle, welcoming
visitors to the Ozarks.
This Ozark Mountains lake, known
for its clarity, depth (to 250 feet) and water temperature,
sets Bull Shoals Lake apart from others.
Bull Shoals Lake is a water sports paradise
for pure enjoyment. The clean waters attract fishermen,
scuba divers, boaters, and swimmers during the long warm-weather
season of north central Arkansas. With plenty of room for
all, Bull Shoals Lake covers between 50,000 and 70,000
acres, depending upon the lake level. A hydroelectric dam
at the town of Bull Shoals regulates the lake level.
The fish are here - try
your skill. Smallmouth, largemouth, spotted bass, trout, crappie, catfish,
bream, white bass, and walleye abound in Bull Shoals Lake.
Fishing season is year-round, all 365 days. You may rent
all the lake gear you need, or bring your own.
