THEODOSIA PARK

Bull Shoals Lake, spanning 80 miles in length, is fed from the White River. The river flows from northwest Arkansas to south-central Missouri, and then loops back into central Arkansas where it eventually flows into the Mississippi River.

Recreation: Bull Shoals Lake appeals to jet skiers, water skiers, fishermen, birders, hikers and those who just want to soak up the scenery. Impressive fall foliage displays attract visitors for an annual celebration called the Flaming Fall Revue.

Nearby: Bring a camera and binoculars to the esteemed Boston Ferry Conservation Area, or take a break from wilderness and head to Branson, Missouri for top-notch live musical entertainment.
