Things to Do in Bull Shoals

The Bull Shoals Lake is created by Bull Dam, also the reason for the world famous trout fishing to be found at White River. In the lake, you can also find bass, crappies, and walleye year round. It's Arkansas's largest lake and is also considered one of the best for bass fishing in the country. Visitors can enjoy the fun of the water via tubing, water skiing, snorkeling, kayaking, and swimming. Don't forget to explore all the sandy coves and bays around the shoreline. A Bull Shoals sunset is an incredible show of colors against the surrounding mountains, so be sure not to miss out. Hiking trails are found in the area around the lake and rivers, plus there are several excellent parks in the area to discover trails and footpaths.
