Bull Shoals Lake - Houseboat Rentals

**Now taking 2025 houseboat reservations**

The Bull Shoals Dam is one of the largest dams of its kind in the United States and created Bull Shoals Lake, the second largest in Arkansas. Thick forests shade the lake, and the Ozark Mountains form the backdrop to its clear waters.

The dramatic shoreline is as much of an attraction to houseboaters as the open water itself. You won't find sandy banks here, instead the shorelines are formed of clay, shelf rock and bluffs, all of which lend a wildness to the lake. With the gentle peaks of the Ozarks rising all around you and a shoreline offering endless coves and inlets, houseboating here is true exploration.

Bull Shoals Lake also is known for its fish. Largemouth, spotted and smallmouth bass are some of the popular sport species in the lake, as well as rainbow trout, walleye and several varieties of catfish. Keep an eye out on the wooded shores for a variety of birds and wildlife.
