## Overview

Visitors head to Damsite on Pomme de Terre Lake for days of enjoyable boating,
fishing and swimming. Just as the name implies, Damsite Park is just above the
dam, at the confluence of Lindley Creek and the Pomme de Terre River.  
  
The lake is named for the river that feeds it. The phrase "Pomme de Terre" is
French for potato or "apple of the earth." Most likely, the river was named by
early French trappers and fur traders when they discovered plants resembling
potatoes on the riverbanks.  
  

## Recreation

Excellent fishing is found at the lake, which boasts one of the best catch
ratios in the country. Each fall the lake is stocked with muskie, but crappie,
largemouth and white bass are also found in abundance.  
  
Every year on Fourth of July holiday weekend, a fireworks display takes place
over the dam.

sites and 1 tent site. Amenities include a dump station, two shower houses, a
