Bull Shoal-White River State Park

About Bull Shoal-White River State Park

The White River is known as Bull Shoals State Park, one of the largest lakes in the United States and the second largest in North America. It stretches along the eastern shore of Bull Shoals Lake, where it meets the White River and Bull Shoals Lake at Bull's Shoals Dam. Together, these waters form the largest freshwater lake in the world, the third largest of its kind in South America, with an average depth of about 1,000 feet.

Fishermen are attracted to catch perch, catfish, cappie and bream, and water sports enthusiasts can go boating and swimming in the clear, open water. Swarms of bulls form dam Bull Shoals Lake, a 45,440-acre body of water stretching from the northern Arkansas border to southern Missouri. The park is a popular destination for camping along the river, kayaking, rafting, canoeing and other recreational activities.

The park offers a varied program throughout the year, and its marina and shop offer a variety of fishing, boating, kayaking, canoeing and other recreational activities.
