Perfect for boating, swimming, fishing, or just soaking up the Ozark views. Bull Shoals Lake is the spot for all the water fun — from fishing to tubing! Boats are available to rent if you want to make a day of it!
If you’re looking for just one hike while you’re here, this is the one! Big Bluff Trail winds through the Ozark forest and opens up to an incredible bluff overlook with sweeping views of the White River and Bull Shoals Dam. The trail is about 1.75 miles (moderate difficulty) and starts right near the visitor center with plenty of parking. You won't want to miss the view at the top!
The White River is world-famous for trout fishing — it’s what put Mountain Home on the map! You can book a half-day or full-day guided trip with local outfitters (boats, gear, and guides included) for an unforgettable Ozarks experience, or bring your own gear and rent a boat while you're there.
Spend a relaxing afternoon exploring Downtown Mountain Home with its local shops, coffee spots, antiques, and casual restaurants throughout the area.
