Fishing, Skiing, Boating...The Nearby Lakes and Rivers
If your passion is fishing, we highly recommend Bull Shoals Lake. Launch ramps and rental boats are available at Diamond City, approximately forty-five minutes north. The view of this lake's sheer rock bluffs jutting out of clear blue-green waters make it a must for sight-seers. Bull Shoals Lake is a peaceful lake that has the reputation of a fisherman's paradise. Most of the water-skiers and pleasure boaters are drawn to Table Rock Lake. If your interest is in trophy trout fishing, the world-renowned White River at Cotter, Arkansas is only a short, forty-five minute drive. We encourage the use of a guide on this river, and we can personally recommend some excellent guides. These, guides are knowledgeable about the river, helpful with a first-time fisherman (or woman), and they can cook a mean trout for your shore lunch. All you need to bring is a fishing license. We can promise you a trip that you will brag about for years to come.
