We went here to get a different view of the dam and an up close view of the White River. You can walk right down to the water. Watch out for the concrete sidewalk, it can be slippery.

Bull Shoals Lake Boat Dock

Reviewed By travelin-Nancy01

Given the fact of the virus hitting all over we tried something new. We went to Arkansas! Bull Shoals Lake to be exact. The customer service was the sweetest and the sunsets were breathtaking. Not only were we surprised by such a family oriented place but the staff made you feel like you were visiting a home away from home. The weather was unpredictable but the sunsets after a storm... WOW. well worth it. I was skeptical when I read reviews about the not so nice customers and the dirtiness of the place.. but you obviously can’t believe everything you read. I’m not sure where THOSE bathrooms were but these are the ones we were provided. I would highly recommend this place for a small getaway to anyone! My family will be coming back next year! Thank you guys so much.
