Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox body of water Bull Shoals Lake is an artificial lake or reservoir in the Ozark Mountains of northern Arkansas and southern Missouri, United States. It has hundreds of miles of lake arms and coves, and common activities include boating, water sports, swimming, and fishing. Nineteen developed parks around the shoreline provide campgrounds, boat launches, swim areas, and marinas.

Bull Shoals Dam was created to impound the White River by one of the largest concrete dams in the United States and was the fifth largest dam in the world at its inception.[1] Work on the dam began in 1947, was completed in 1951 and dedicated by President Harry S. Truman in 1952. At least seven small family cemeteries and 20 larger cemeteries were meticulously relocated to accommodate the new lake.[2] Recent national events include Brostock 2010 and 2011 and the TBF Bass Federation and Bassmaster Elite Series Tournaments in 2012.

Hydrology

Bull Shoals Lake impounds the White River for the last time as water travels toward its mouth on the Mississippi River. Bull Shoals is thus the lake farthest downstream in a chain of four artificial lakes that include (from upstream to downstream) Beaver Lake, Table Rock Lake and Lake Taneycomo. The lake is controlled by the Army Corps of Engineers and has the primary purpose of flood control. The level of the lake fluctuates regularly with a normal pool level elevation of Шаблон:Convert above sea level, which is locally known as powerpool. However, the lake regularly fluctuates between an elevation of Шаблон:Convert. The upper part of the lake, below nearby Powersite Dam, is known as the "Pothole".[3]

The shoreline of the lake is undeveloped and protected by a buffer zone (locally called the "take line") owned, operated, managed, and controlled by the Army Corps of Engineers. The dam is designed for a maximum elevation of Шаблон:Convert (top of the flood pool). Bull Shoals Lake covers 45,000 acres (182 km2) with a Шаблон:Convert shoreline at powerpool to more than 70,000 acres (284 km2) with a Шаблон:Convert shoreline at Шаблон:Convert. The bottom of the lake consists of bedrock with very limited vegetation. The shoreline is heavily forested.[4]

State park

Шаблон:Main The Bull Shoals-White River State Park is a 725-acre (2.9 km2) park in Baxter and Marion Counties of Arkansas both above and below the massive dam. Facilities, including camping, pavilions, dock and interpretive programs, stretch along the banks of the White River. Along the lakeshore, the park offers picnic sites and playgrounds.

Flooding in 2008 and 2011

In the spring of 2008, due to the record rainfall, Bull Shoals reached its highest water level since 1957. The lake crested at Шаблон:Convert above sea level, prompting the Army Corps of Engineers to open the floodgates to relieve the lake from further flooding. A record crest of Шаблон:Convert was achieved at 5 p.m. on May 27, 2011, due to record rainfall, exceeding the Spring 2008 lake levels and 1957 levels.[5][6]
