Scenery

Uncrowded Public Use

All the land surrounding Bull Shoals Lake is public property owned by the Federal government. You can hike, fish, hunt, and otherwise enjoy the lake shore. With almost 1,000 miles of shore line, there's plenty of places to go. Many people find a private spot by boat then anchor or beach to swim, fish, camp, and hike. (photo G. Cooley)



Many Places To Explore

This aerial shows the maze of coves, creek arms, and peninsulas that make up the Bull Shoals Lake shoreline. There can be hundreds of boats on the water but you see few of them because of the broken shorelines. Lake maps are sold in several area facilities that will help you find just the right spot to beach a houseboat, fish, hunt, and otherwise enjoy a primitive outdoor experience. (photo D. Smiley)

The True Ozarks

Its hard to appreciate just how vast the Ozark Mountains are because, unlike the Rockies, they have flat horizon lines instead of jagged, towering peaks. As you drive through our area you will encounter many open vistas like this one. We are in the actual Ozark Mountains, not in the foothills. There are many paved, well maintained roads that make excellent driving tours. (photo G. Cooley)
