The crystal clear waters of Bull Shoals Lake, Brown’s Beach and the breathtaking views on the world famous White River make this an ideal spot in the Ozark mountains.

The lake covers 45,440 acres and 1100 miles of shoreline. There is largemouth and smallmouth bass, white and stripped bass, walleye and catfish. If your taste runs to panfish we have crappie, bluegill and sun perch. There are also water sports – ski and pontoon boats, jet skis, and scuba diving gear and instruction. Below the dam is the famed White River known everywhere for some of the best rainbow, brown, and cutthroat trout fishing in the United States. Whether it is fly fishing, guided float trips, or bank fishing, the experience will be unique and nearly always a productive one.

In Bull Shoals you can visit area craft and antique shops, tour of the 350 million year old caverns, take the increasingly popular Mountain Village 1890 Haunted History Tour, or check out the local museum.

In addition there is a bowling alley and the very best restaurants. A short distance away there are nature trails, horseback riding, movies, go-cart track, and great outdoor adventures. Experience small town charm in discovering Driftwood Resort environs, making it a must see destination that you will become hooked and want to return every chance you get.
