In 1957, construction began three miles south of Hermitage on a flood control and recreation project to build Pomme de Terre Reservoir and Dam. Today, scenic Lake Pomme de Terre boasts 113 miles of shoreline and more than 7,800 surface acres of water. It offers four marinas to serve your boating needs, as well as campgrounds, RV parks and resorts. This "Gem of the Ozarks" is also well known for its bass and muskie fishing. You'll find the peaceful, rural atmosphere ideal for camping, canoeing, hiking and water sports.
