Highway 125 Park Bull Shoals

Enjoy the beautiful scenery overlooking Bull Shoals Lake, known in the area as a water sports paradise.

The park is a departure point for the Peel Ferry, which connects Highway 125 from Arkansas to Missouri. Peel Ferry is Arkansas' last remaining free ferry. It runs year-round and saves drivers a 50-mile journey around the lake.

The 39 campsites are equipped with electric hookups, drinking water and showers. The site has a designated swimming area and marina.

Groups of up to 50 can reserve the group picnic shelter, which is beside the playground.
