MOUNTAIN BIKE TRAIL
Bull Shoals State
Park
Turn left off highway 178 onto
Powerhouse Rd. (just
before the dam) on the Lakeview
side. The trail is
semi-difficult for the average
biker. It is 5 to 6 feet
wide and almost 4 miles
long. It runs along the
White River, turns and goes
uphill toward highway 178.
Then it turns to go downhill and
splits into two paths, one
easy and one more
difficult. You may bring
your own bike or rent one near
the trail access point.
The trail may be ridden in a
clock-wise or counter clock-wise
direction. It is also open
for hiking but closed to
motorized vehicles.
