Pomme de Terre Lake Management Lands provides approximately 2 miles of public fishing access to the lake with multiple access points including gravel boat ramps at McCracken Bridge (for general boating) and Sleepy Hollow (canoe access only), plus two ADA-accessible fishing docks.

The area is managed cooperatively by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers and Missouri Department of Conservation, with a popular 20-mile multiuse trail available for hiking, biking, and horseback riding at the Bolivar Access location.
