Pomme de Terre Lake, smallest of the three impoundments, has over 7,800 acres of water plus
some 12,200 surrounding acres set aside for hunting. Around the shoreline are found clean, safe beaches, a golf course, a bridle trail, and other amenities.
  
   
Stockton Lake, formed by a Corps of Engineers Dam on the Sac River, has 250 miles of shoreline encircling 24,900 acres of water.
   
Twelve public use areas include eleven boat ramps, ten picnic areas, nine campgrounds, three trailer parks, and three swimming areas. Truman Lake, covering the valleys of the upper Osage River and its tributaries, is the newest and largest of the Osage Tri-Lakes, with over 100,000 acres of water. Around the lake are 650 acres of parks, boat ramps, marinas, heated fishing dock, and other recreation areas.
  
Naturally, fishing is top notch! Anglers travel for miles to reach the Osage Lakes and their unbeatable populations of hard fighting and good eating fish. Bass; largemouth and smallmouth, black and white are abundant in all three lakes. Pomme de Terre is nationally rated. Bluegill, crappie, walleye, buffalo, and drum fill creels to the limit. Muskie stocked at Pomme de Terre grow to tackle busting weights in the clear spring waters.

The catfish, however, is king of the Osage fishing scene. The world record blue cat, a 63 inch monster weighing 117 pounds, was taken on a troutline from the Osage River. A 64 lb blue and a 63 lb flathead, each taken in 1979 just below Truman Dam, set Missouri rod & reel records that still stand. The scrappy channel cat and delicious bullhead are also favorite catches. Even the prehistoric paddlefish, locally known as the spoonbill cat, can be found lurking in Osage waters.
 
Hunters, too, migrate to the Osage Lakes region to pursue their favorite quarry through densely wooded Ozark foothills. Deer, wild turkey, squirrel, and rabbit are plentiful. Ducks and geese can be bagged in season on the lake marshes, and hunter stake to the field with bird dogs in quest of quail and dove. Dog fanciers of another kind find the Osage area ideal for loosing a singing pack of hounds to chase the wily fox or feisty raccoon.
 
Camping, hiking, and other outdoor sports have been carefully developed to ensure full enjoyment of the natural Ozark beauty.
