Lightfoot Landing

Lightfoot Landing is a smaller campground compared to neighboring park areas, making it a more quiet and peaceful location for boating and fishing on Pomme de Terre Lake, known as the ''Gem of the Ozarks.''. The lake is well known for fishing, with one of the highest catch ratios in the country. Species include bass, catfish, walleye and crappie, but the lake is probably best known for its muskie, which is stocked each fall. Both canoeing and power boating are popular on the lake, with a good amount of water skiing and other water activities taking place. Lightfoot Landing has 35 sites with electric and water hookups, including one that is accessible.
