Bull Shoals Dam was completed in 1951 and as Bull Shoals Lake filled the flow at Dew Spring increased. In 1954 it was determined that the source was an arm of the lake called Jimmy's Creek. Now called Big Spring it flows 28.9 million gallons every 24 hours. There is a nice sitting area with park benches overlooking the spring and the White River.
