Review:
Pomme De Terre Lake is one of the less known and less visited lakes in Missouri. It was built in 1961 after the construction of Pomme de Terre Dam across the point where Lindley Creek and the Pomme de Terre River meet. The result was an irregular “Y”-shaped lake with more than 100 miles of shoreline, several parks, and nine camping areas along the shore. The lake is part of Pomme De Terre State Park and its two units Pittsburg State Park and Hermitage State Park. Both parks have lovely swimming beaches, boat ramps, playgrounds, showers, and hiking trails. Pittsburg Park has a marina and a boat ramp. Boating and fishing are the most popular activities at Pomme De Terre Lake. The visitors can rent all sort of boats, such as ski-boats, pontoon rafts, fishing boats, canoes, kayaks, pedal boats, jet-skis, stand-up paddleboards, water-skis, tubes, and life vests. Considered among anglers as a muskie fishing lake, the reservoir holds other species of fish as well, such largemouth bass, crappie, bluegill, and walleye.
