🛡 Two Dams, Two Blobs of Water
Bull Shoals Dam and Norfork Dam both release into the White River system — but they don’t meet until the North Fork confluence near mile 44, below Hwy 341 Bridge. Above that point, the water you see is purely Bull Shoals. Below it, both dams are contributing.
When both dams run on the same afternoon — which SWPA schedules frequently — two separate blobs of water are moving downstream at once. The Norfork blob travels only ~21 miles to reach Calico Rock. The Bull Shoals blob travels 62 miles. On a typical generation day, Norfork water arrives at Red’s Landing 8–10 hours before Bull Shoals water does.
🌊 Bull Shoals Dam
62 mi to Calico Rock
- Drives all water from dam to Hwy 341 Bridge
- Takes 7–9 hrs to reach Cotter (18 mi)
- Takes 14–24 hrs to reach Calico Rock
- Arrival times on this page are Bull Shoals estimates
🌊 Norfork Dam
~21 mi to Calico Rock
- Enters White River at mile 44 (below Hwy 341)
- Reaches Red’s Landing (~5 mi below) in ~2–3 hrs
- Reaches Calico Rock (~18 mi below) in ~5–7 hrs
- Rows marked ⌷ below are in this zone
Red’s Landing is our most-watched confluence-zone spot — it’s an access ramp and popular float takeout sitting just 5 miles below where the two rivers merge. When Norfork fires, water rises there fast. When Bull Shoals runs heavy, a second rise can follow hours later. Watch both dam schedules before you launch.
