    Stopped at the visitors center to read about the dam and get a better view of the massive structure. Always heard about it and finally got to see it in person. While we were there, they sounded the horn that they were turning on another generator. That was pretty cool. We witnessed the fast flowing water at the cabin we were staying at down the river. Great place to see.

    Visitors center is one of the high points of the Bull Shoals area. Great view of the Bull Shoals dam, lake and river from the observation deck. Interesting displays.

    14 of us loaded onto a pontoon boat and went on a 90 minute cruise of the lake and Dam, with a park ranger superintendent and a new in training interpreter. Very informative and enjoyable, the lake breezes kept us comfortable.

    This place is super cute. We enjoyed the little show put on by local musicians. Our entire family is made up of professional musicians. None of the people on stage Monday were pros, but they were all enjoying what they were doing and the audience seemed to enjoy them playing for them.

    Local talent keeps local culture alive. Thanks for a fun evening of family entertainment.

    Me and my husband had a great time! We caught our limit on a half day trip. Shawn was very personable and friendly. It made the trip that much better. He cleaned our fish for us at the end of the trip. Even shared some recipes on how to cook them. Would definitely recommend! And we will be back!

    Excellent fishing on White River. Convenient pick up by guide at Bull Shoals White River State Park boat dock. Fished that area and caught limit of rainbow trout. A couple of trout were over 20”.

    I had a difficult time finding a guide to take my 15 yr old son, his friend and my self fly fishing with the option of spin casting (as a fall back if the kids didn’t care for fly fishing). Duane was amazing! Neither of the boys had ever fly fished, I have. My plan was to hook the boys on fly fishing. Duane was amazingly patient! He thought the boys the basics and let them fish n’ learn & we caught a lot of rainbows! Duane had such a pleasant attitude and was very knowledgeable! I definitely recommend him as a guide for both experienced & new fly fishermen!

    Ask for Troy! Had a great day on the scenic White River. Troy was a lot of fun and an excellent guide. We tried different baits and caught our rainbow trout limit plus a brownie trout as a bonus. Comfortable, safe boat.
