james a. gaston visitor center

A wonderful view of Bull Shoals dam and the river valley below. There are a lot of displays showing history and natural species information that you should find interesting.

This has to be the nicest Visitors Center we have ever been to. The building was breath-taking from the road and even more so when we went inside. There are many informative exhibits, a very nice gift shop and a fantastic observation deck which allows you to get some nice views and pictures. Looking forward to visiting again and exploring outdoors when the weather is nicer.

Sitting high on a hill, you can't miss this building as you drive into Bull Shoals. Located right by the dam, it provides wonderful views of the area. There is a large observation deck to take pictures from. Inside is full of information regarding the lake, dam, and local wildlife. There is a small gift shop as well. Be sure to visit here!
