Groups of up to 50 can reserve the group picnic shelter, which is beside the playground.

Natural Features

Blue Shoals Lake spans more than 71,000 acres across the northern edge of Arkansas and the southern edge of Missouri. The lake was created in 1951 with the completion of the massive concrete dam, Blue Shoals Dam.

The lake is surrounded by dense forest along the rolling foothills of the Arkansas Ozarks.

Nearby Attractions

Visit the Bull Shoals-White River State Park and explore its two hiking trails: the Big Bluff Trail and the Lakeside Trail. Consider a ferry ride to explore scenic drives on the Missouri side of the lake.
