First time to Bull- open ramps on lower end?

[bferg]

Headed over next week for my first time to fish bull.  Are the boat ramps open?  I think the Bull Shoals Boat Dock is the closest to where we are staying...  Maybe Jimmy Creek?  Are these both accessible?

Ramps are open; however, with the current water level along with predicted levels, access/parking is going to be very limited. Launching at Bull Shoals Lake Boat Dock is possible but parking is very limited. You can also launch at Brown's Beach/Point Return Access is the city of Bull Shoals, Dam Site Access near the dam or Lakeview Ramp as well but again parking is going to be limited.  I would say the Dam Site or Brown's Beach/Point Return will likely be your best opinions. Others may not agree.
