Bull Shoals Lake

Bull Shoals Lake, located in both Missouri and Arkansas, is not only a very popular attraction for fans of the outdoors, but also houses a dam that is the fifth largest of its kind in the United States. The lake resides on the White River, roughly 60 miles south of Springfield, Missouri and around 170 miles north of Little Rock, Arkansas. Bull Shoals can cover more than 71,000 acres at flood control levels, and 45,440 acres at conservation pool elevation. Besides being an impoundment of the White River, Tributaries for Bull Shoals include Little North Fork, Howard, East and West Sugarloaf, Bear, Jimmie, Bee, Big, Beaver and Swan creeks. Water flows through the dam and feeds the lower White River. Elevation of the lake ranges from 695 feet at top of flood control to 654 feet at top of conservation pool. Bull Shoals' limestone shorelines can range from 740 to 1050 miles depending on water height. The clear blue water of Bull Shoals attracts scuba divers and spear fishers from many states.
