About Bull Shoals Lake
Bull Shoals Lake was created in 1951 when the Corps of Engineers finished Bull Shoals Dam on the White River — the fifth-largest dam in the world at the time it was built. It covers about 45,000 acres across the Arkansas-Missouri line, with 700 miles of shoreline and depths to 210 feet, its bedrock bottom giving unusually clear water. Mountain Home is the lake's main town, and the trout water on the White River below the dam is as famous as the lake itself.

Bull Shoals Lake depth chart, in wood
This is a Bull Shoals Lake depth chart you can hang: 6 stacked layers of birch, each one a depth contour — 28 ft, 56 ft, 84 ft, 112 ft, 141 ft and deeper, down to the deepest hole at about 169 ft. The lake covers about 68.8 square miles, and 3004 shore roads are engraved around it. The shape of the bottom is the real one from published soundings, so anglers recognise their drop-offs and points.
A Bull Shoals Lake map for the wall — or a gift
Most of these go to a cabin wall, a lake house entry, or a home office; a lot are gifts — the family that has been on Bull Shoals Lake for three generations, the retirement move, the first boat. The 12-inch is the desk-and-shelf size; the 24- and 30-inch boards read across a room. Add a line under the title and star your place on the shore, and it becomes the map of your Bull Shoals Lake.
Bull Shoals Lake map — the details
How big is the map?
Four sizes: 12, 17, 24 and 30 inches on the long side, from $149. Every size is cut from the same depth data of Bull Shoals Lake; the bigger boards carry more shoreline roads and place names.
Is it made from real depth data?
Yes. Bull Shoals Lake is cut layer by layer from published bathymetric soundings — each layer of birch is a depth contour, so the shape of the bottom is the real one, not decorative.
Can I add my own place on it?
Yes. At checkout you can add a line under the title (a family name, a cabin name, a year) and star the spot on the shore that matters to you.
How long does it take?
Made to order in Waterford, Pennsylvania and shipped in 7–10 days; shipping is free in the lower 48.
Can you make a lake that isn't listed?
Any lake in the United States — we hold depth data for 104,419 of them. Search for yours; if it isn't built yet we build it when you order.
