Bull Shoals Lake is located on the northern edge of central Arkansas. Built in 1951 for flood control, the lake spans 71,000 acres and extends for 80 miles. It's fed by the White River, which flows through the Arkansas Ozarks.
Recreation: Bull Shoals Lake beckons water sports lovers, birders, naturalists and those who simply want an escape from the city. Hiking and in-season hunting are popular land activities here.
Nearby: The Bull Shoals-White River State Park has two highly recommended hiking trails to explore. The Big Bluff Trail offers views of the White River below Bull Shoals Dam, and the Lakeside Trail meanders along the shores of the lake.
