"The Real Ozarks"
Theodosia & Bull Shoals Lake
Theodosia Missouri and Bull Shoals Lake is nestled in the Ozark Mountains of Missouri and Arkansas and is the record bass capital of Missouri. Bull Shoals Lake has about 1,000 miles of shoreline, and is home to large mouth, small mouth, and white bass, crappie, bluegill, catfish, and walleye. The lake's sparkling water and uncluttered shoreline are ideal for water recreation. There is abundant wildlife to satisfy both hunters and naturalists. Bull Shoals Lake is surrounded by wooded limestone bluffs, not large hotels. The changing panorama of the seasons brings dogwoods and redbud blossoms in the spring and the vibrant hues of oaks and smoketrees in the fall.
Bald eagles and loons can be found on the lake during the short winters. Extensive nature trails in the area gives the visitor a chance to roam the rugged hills.
For those who long for the bright lights and crowds, Branson's amusement parks, shows and shopping, or Springfield's Bass Pro are a short distance away. After spending a day in the traffic and noise, however, most travelers are happy to return to the Ozark Hills and slower pace of the Bull Shoals Lake / Theodosia Area — "The Real Ozarks!"
