Water, water Photo by Craig Smith. By Daryl Weather, Branson News & Weather Bull Shoals Lake is once again holding a lot of water and for the residents of Forsyth, this is nothing out of the ordinary. Just below the city of Forsyth, along the banks of Bull Shoals Lake, sits Shadow Rock Park. The park is well known, by locals and visitors alike, for recreational opportunities and camping. In the past six years however, the park has been under water four times and for a lengthy amount of time on each of those occasions. With the park underwater, this means no campers and a loss of revenue for the city. Even more devastating is the cost of cleaning up the park once the water has receded.
