Area Activities

Wheatland - A few miles west of Pomme de Terre Lake.
At one time, Wheatland was a thriving town and her well water was known to be the purest in the country. Today, the citizens of Wheatland are working diligently to bring their century old town to life again. Volunteers from the area have reassembled 13 authentic log buildings to create a Pioneer Village. Pioneer Village stands as a representative to the past. A replica relay station of the Butterfield Overland Mail is part of the village. Plan now to attend the Wheatland Harvest Festival, an annual celebration of community spirit. Or visit Pioneer Village during the Annual Christmas Lighting ceremony.

Things To Do

Hunting the Pomme de Terre Area Woodlands
There are many lake area accommodations to choose from for each hunting season. White-tail deer, turkey, rabbit, and wildfowl abound in this region. Hunting supplies and information are available at area stores.

Photography and Hiking
You can observe the wildlife that abounds in the Pomme de Terre area by walking the shoreline property surrounding the lake, or on country roads, or by hiking one of the trails. Maps are available at the Office of the Corps of Engineers. Come see why they call it "naturally peaceful" at Pomme de Terre Lake.

Canoeing The Spring Waters of the Pomme de Terre River
The only river in Missouri that flows north, emptying into Lake Pomme de Terre!

Golf at The Pomme de Terre Golf & Country Club
You can enjoy your game at the Pomme de Terre Golf & Country Club located in the Wheatland area. With bent grass greens and dog leg fairways, you'll have a great time while trying to improve your game. It is open all year and is accessible from either HWY 254 or HWY 83. Men's Golf Day is every Monday; Women's Gold Day is every Thursday.

Antiquing or Shopping
Can be found in most all of the towns surrounding the lake, and it only takes five to ten minutes to travel from town to town in Hickory County. Many Missouri towns close off the town square once a year for a day of celebration and fun. Many enterprising citizens bring their hand made fine crafts or antique collections to display and sell.
