Pomme de Terre literally means "apple of the earth." Built by the Army Corps of Engineers in 1961 for flood control, Pomme de Terre Lake is located in the rugged, tree covered hills of the southwest central Missouri Ozarks. The lake has two arms, the Pomme de Terre arm and the Lindley arm. The Pomme de Terre arm is 17 miles long and follows the Pomme de Terre River, while the Lindley arm is 12 miles long and follows Lindley Creek. The lake provides 7,820 acres of spring-fed recreational waters, and is a great choice for big lake living near KC.
With miles of long and winding coves and inlets, Pomme de Terre Lake is most conducive to excellent fishing all year long. Not only does Pomme de Terre Lake provide good-sized bass, walleye, catfish, and crappie, the lake’s popularity comes from its marvelous Muskie population. In fact, Pomme de Terre Lake is the only lake in Missouri that offers true muskellunge fishing. Muskies caught in Pomme de Terre Lake can be around 40 inches long!
Pomme de Terre Lake welcomes all boat and motor types and offers several public boat launch ramps, available all around the lake, for easy access to the water. Four full-service marinas service the patrons of Pomme de Terre Lake by providing boating and fishing supplies and services including boat rentals, fuel, tackle, storage and groceries or snacks.
The Pomme de Terre State Park is located along the lake and offers campsites, yurts, cabins, a lake house, beaches, boat ramps, a marina, trails, and picnic sites. Visitors also enjoy scenic hiking trails in an area where open woodlands and savannas present a unique backdrop.
