Bull
Shoals Lake offers miles and miles of natural shoreline for you to
explore. The entire lake is your playground. There
are enough coves and points and twists and turns to spend endless hours
discovering them all.
The water of Bull Shoals Lake is the main attraction.
It is clear, clean and deep. The water temperature goes up early in the
spring and the water stays warm long into the fall. This extends our
water sport seasons. Some of the best "smooth as glass" skiing
conditions are in late September and early October.
Many of our guest enjoy long boat rides down into
Arkansas maybe going to the Bull Shoals Dam. Others never go far
from the Cove. Which ever you choose you'll still feel as if
the entire lake is
your playground. We have very little traffic. There is plenty of room
for
the boater, the fisherman, scuba divers, the jet ski's and other
water sports.
The shoreline offers more fun for you and your
family. We
have a rocky shoreline with bluffs and cliffs, points and slopes. Many
of
our guest have spent time picnicking on a point, rock climbing,
treasure hunting
and hiking the many miles.
The fun doesn't stop when the sun goes down. Moon lit
cruises, star gazing, sitting at the dock listening to the sound of the
wildlife are all part of the beauty of the OZARK'S.
Come and discover Bull Shoals Lake for yourself.
You'll love it!

SNORKELING BULL SHOALS LAKE
Snorkeling the waters of Bull Shoals Lake
is a wonderful way to enjoy the world below the surface. During the
summer, the water is very warm, almost bath like, and very conducive to
swimming. With mask, fins, and snorkel in place, one begins to explore
the vast underwater world. The first thing one notices is the clarity
of the water. Unpolluted and lacking aquatic vegetation, the water is
usually "gin clear". Massive schools of shiny, metallic minnows often
join the snorkeler, darting n Nervously through the calm depths. The
lake bottom usually replicates the adjoining shoreline, appearing as
fields of rocks in more level spots, and vanishing into a dark abyss at
the foot of a steep bluff. Snorkeling along a bluff, one may view
underwater s which have a depth of several feet to the unknown. Small
mouth bass frequent these areas and their bronze, speckled forms
appear from the hole in the rock, quickly swimming away to avoid
intrusion.
The snorkeler may be startled as a large, fat flathead catfish lumbers
along
the bottom, then suddenly appearing shark like as it pursues a crippled
sunfish. Largemouth bass and blue gill display their vivid colors of
green, blue
and gold as they curiously swim up to the snorkeler. Snorkeling in the
shallow waters, one may see the crumbling remains of building
foundations, appearing as ruins of a lost civilization. Trees, dead,
and waterlogged, rise from
the depths and remain standing, a testimony to the once forested lake
bottom.
