Bull Shoals Dam
Straddling the border of Arkansas and Missouri-Bull Shoals covers more than 71,240 acres. This lake's massive size makes it ideal for the water sports enthusiast and fishermen alike. 1,050 miles of shoreline provide plenty of room for everyone.

Bull Shoals Dam is located on the White River. Construction initiated in June of 1947 and was completed in July of 1951, with commercial power generation commencing in 1952, making it the 5th largest concrete dam in the nation at that time.
It extended 2,256 feet across the White River.

Local resorts, marinas, and trout docks can provide everything you need for skiing, scuba diving, boat rentals, and guided fishing trips. Bull Shoals has yielded five state records from all five major bass species. As an added bonus, the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission stocks this lake with 135,000 Rainbow trout each year, making this lake truly unique.

The Corps of Engineers manages seventeen parks around the lake. Most of these parks feature picnic tables, grills, pavilions, electricity, campgrounds, and boat ramps.

This 92-mile stretch of Bull Shoals tail-water is consistently one of America's most productive fisheries in terms of trout number and size. The water released from the hydroelectric dam below Bull Shoals, combined with the conservation and stocking efforts of the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, has created one of the ultimate grounds for rainbow, cutthroat and brown trout.
