At the confluence of Pomme de Terre River and Lindley Creek,
you will find Pomme de Terre Lake. This body of water in
southwest Missouri has a surface area of over 7,820 acres,
two sections of state park land that total nearly 700 acres,
more than 650 campsites along the shore and two swimming
beaches. You can even hike a trail that ends at a rock
platform with a magnificent view of the water.
Pomme de Terre Lake was one of a series of lakes in the
Osage River Basin that were constructed by the Corps of
Engineers for flood control purposes. Construction began in
1957 and took four years, with an additional two years
needed for the water to reach an acceptable level. |

The lake was
named after Pomme de Terre River.
The expression "Pomme de Terre" is
French and literally means "earth
apple."
Visitors can fish for largemouth
bass, white bass and crappie as well
as tons of muskie. In fact, the lake
boasts one of the best muskie catch
ratios in the nation. There are also
plenty of hiking opportunities
around the water.
You'll also find an abundance of
whitetail deer, wild turkey, duck,
beaver, squirrel and geese as well
as an occasional cougar or bobcat!
Nearly half of the state's impounded
waters await visitors here.
