Water Sports

Water skiing, wave boarding, tubing, fishing, scuba diving, swimming, wave running, exploring, are all popular water sports. Marinas and resort rent boats and other water sport equipment. The water is warm from about the middle of May through the middle of September. You can always find smooth water in the coves even on windy days.

There are few large boats making uncomfortable wakes in this area of Bull Shoals. (photo Pontiac Lodge)

Scuba Diving

Bull Shoals Lake is a great place to go scuba diving, the water is very clear (visibility is usually more than 10 feet which is very uncommon for a lake). There are also several dive shops on the lake and many different artifacts have been sunk on the lake for divers to enjoy including a school bus, and an old WWII boat
