For a view of some of the best natural environments as well as a look at a real hydroelectric dam, you won't want to miss the Dam Site Days at the Bull Shoals Lakeview.
Bull Shoals Lake is an incredibly large mass of water. It spans more than 45,000 acres and is situated in both northern Missouri and northern Arkansas. Besides having great views and wildlife, there are also a lot of water sports that you can partake in while at the lake. Boating is a big part of the fun at this lake. There's also a lot of camping, hiking and hunting here as well. While you're in town for the Dam Site Days, it's a good idea to spend the weekend hiking and camping in the wilderness surrounding
Bull Shoals Lake.
The real focus of the Dam Site Days is the Bull Shoals Dam. In recent years, the dam was closed off to public tours, but it is open to the public once again. This is the whole reason for the Dam Site Days celebration. Now you can come and take tours from Tuesday to Sunday throughout the year. All you need is a valid picture ID or passport. Then you can see the majesty of the Bull Shoals Dam from the inside out.
The best thing about the dam is its function. It creates so much power with the water running through the dam that it can save a lot of coal production. Next time you're near the
Bull Shoals Lake, stop on by.
