Originally built for flood control and electrical power generation, Bull Shoals and Norfork lakes have become popular vacation playgrounds.
     Formed in deep valleys, the lakes are bordered by wooded slopes, rocky bluffs and inviting beaches. A relaxed pace, a peaceful setting, acres and acres of sparkling water - both lakes offer all this and more.
     The North Fork River and Bryant Creek are exceptionally clear streams, so clear you can watch the fish swim by.
     Along with fishing, the lakes and rivers are ideal for swimming, boating, water skiing, canoeing, tubing, sailing, scuba diving and sun bathing.
