    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.

    We rented a pontoon boat and enjoyed our experience. The staff was friendly and helpful. While the boat seats were showing some age, if was very clean and the motor ran great. We rented a tube that simply hooked on and the kids had a blast! Bull Shoals Lake is crystal clean and beautiful.

    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.

    Jeff was our guide with PaPa Bills and he is a great guide! Jeff was very professional and so knowledgeable of the White River, the fish and the area in general. He cleaned our trout at the end of the trip, told us about the Beacon Point Restaurant, who cooked our trout for us and served it with hush puppies, fries and slaw and it was good! Would definitely use this guide service the next trip to the white river!

    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.
