Scuba

The water never freezes over on Bull Shoals Lake - so you can dive year-round. Average winter water temperature is in the 50’s, 70’s in the spring, 80's in the summer. There are over 1,000 miles of shoreline. Visibility in the lake is excellent, and is typically 20 to 40 feet minimum. There’s a nine month spearfishing season for walleye, crappie, and catfish, with year-round spearfishing for gar, carp, and drum. Exciting dive sites, like 200′ rock walls pockmarked with caverns, huge underwater forests of oak and hickory, long gravel points scattered with fish, hundreds of man-made brush piles holding a wide variety of fish, and sunken farm implements make diving in Bull Shoals Lake a true adventure.
