Outlet Park, situated below the Pomme de Terre dam, provides a picturesque setting for fishing, canoeing, hiking and wildlife viewing on the Pomme de Terre River.
Above the dam lies Pomme de Terre Lake, nicknamed ''the Gem of the Ozarks'' for its deep, clear waters, plentiful activities and scenic views.
Of the 21 campsites, 14 have water and electric hookups. Hot showers, a boat ramp, group camping, and a multipurpose playing court are also provided.
Starting October 1st Pomme de Terre Lake will enter our Limited Camping Season. This will run through November 30th and all camping will be first come first serve. You will make payments at the Honor Vault that is located next to the Park Attendant Booth. Campsites will still have water and electricity but all waterborne restroom/shower facilities will be closed. The dump station will also stay open throughout the winter months.
The lake and dam are located in the rugged, tree-topped hills of the west-central Missouri Ozarks. The lake stems from the nearby Pomme de Terre River, the only river in the state that flows northbound.
Located a few miles away in the town of Wheatland is one of the country's best dirt tracks. There are also multiple trails, a golf course and Anglers Resort is the place to rent your canoes.
Outlet Park is excellent for sports. It marks the trailhead for the 3-mile Healthy Active Community Running River Trail and is also a hot spot for canoeing and kayaking.
Fishing is also a popular, with plenty of crappie and bass in the nearby waters.
