Boat Dock Cove

Boat Dock Cove provides a convenient boat ramp and access point for launching kayaks, canoes, and small motorized boats onto the White River below Bull Shoals Lake Dam. The White River in this section is a tailwater fishery known for its excellent trout fishing, with larger flows and deeper water compared to many Ozark streams.

The boat ramp is located about 1 mile southwest of the town of Bull Shoals, Arkansas. Facilities include a boat dock, a limited number of campsites, and basic amenities like restrooms and a trailer dump station. The dock offers boat, motor, and canoe rentals, as well as supplies and equipment for anglers.

This access point provides a good launching spot for exploring the White River by boat or paddle craft. Boaters and paddlers should be prepared for the river's larger scale and flows compared to typical Ozark waterways. As with any river, exercising caution and wearing appropriate safety gear is recommended. Those seeking a peaceful float or world-class trout fishing will find Boat Dock Cove a useful starting point on the White River.
