Fly Fishing
If you fly fish, come prepared to visit several Arkansas mountain streams, starting
with White River. Then venture west to Crooked Creek close to Yellville for smallmouth
bass and other species. If the water level in the lakes is normal, tailwaters
of Lake Norfork offer rewarding trout fishing, too.
Fun Skiing on Bull Shoals Lake
Skimming the surface of beautiful Bull Shoals Lake on a summer day convinces
many to come back and visit again next year. Just rent a boat and everything
you need to ski at marinas.
Rivercliff Golf Course
One of the most unique golfing games you may ever have can be played in Bull
Shoals. You’ll play alongside a well-known cold-water trout stream, the
White River, in the shadow of big Bull Shoals Dam, the 10th largest hydroelectric
dam in the nation. A short drive to Mountain Home takes you to either Twin Lakes
Golf Course on the east side of town, or the highly acclaimed Big Creek Golf
and Country Club on the west side of town.
James A. Gaston Visitor Center
New in late 2006 is the James A. Gaston Visitor Center, now the center of activities
for the Bull Shoals-White River State Park, plus educational activities, tours
and meetings. Open nearly every day of the year and 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. during the
most-visited times of the year, the center is named for a noted leader of Arkansas
tourism who is a local resident.
Bull Shoals
Caverns
Go underground
to see Bull Shoals Caverns. The caverns are typical of the region – and
have no stairs to climb!
Mountain Village 1890
Mountain Village 1890 is an authentically restored
Ozark town reflecting life in Arkansas nearly 120 years ago. Historic
buildings from the era were moved to this beautiful site from area
towns and other regions of Arkansas. For more fun, play miniature
golf in a shady setting and lighted at night.
