Nemo Landing

Pomme de Terre lake is divided into two arms which extend from the dam site. Nemo landing is located on the shorter arm, which follows the long and winding Lindley Creek and features numerous coves. Although Pomme de Terre is small in comparison to other lakes in Missouri, its clear, deep waters have plenty to offer visitors.

Natural features

Pomme de Terre Lake is located in the rugged, tree-topped hills of the west-central Missouri Ozarks. The lake stems mostly from the Pomme de Terre River and boasts 113 miles of shoreline.

Recreation

Visitors can find ideal fishing locations in one of the many tucked away coves, abundant with bass, walleye, crappie, catfish and muskie. Muskie is particularly popular as Pomme de Terre is the only lake in Missouri with a notable amount of the species. Jet skiing, water skiing and canoeing are also popular water sports. Across the Road from the campground is Nemo Marina, one of four full-service marinas on the lake, offering fuel, storage, tackle and rentals.
