Pomme De Terre Lake Near Hermitage
Pomme de Terre Lake is a reservoir located near Hermitage, Missouri. The lake was created in 1961 by the construction of the Pomme de Terre Dam on the Pomme de Terre River, a tributary of the Osage River. The lake covers an area of 7,820 acres and has a shoreline of 113 miles.
The lake is primarily fed by the Pomme de Terre River and its tributaries, but it also receives water from the Truman Reservoir and Stockton Lake. The lake is used for flood control, recreation, and as a source of drinking water for nearby communities.
Agriculture is an important industry in the area around Pomme de Terre Lake, and the lake is used for irrigation and as a source of water for livestock. Recreational activities on the lake include fishing, boating, swimming, and camping. The lake is also home to a variety of wildlife, including bald eagles, osprey, and white-tailed deer.

Inside the reservoir
The real shoreline of this water body, with a depth model scaled so the basin holds exactly its recorded storage. Drag to orbit, scroll to zoom, and use the slider to drain and refill it. Click anywhere on the basin for the modelled depth there.
How this is built. The shoreline is the National Hydrography
Dataset polygon for this water body (“Pomme De Terre Lake”),
matched to the dam by proximity and confirmed by comparing its area with the
National Inventory of Dams surface area.
Depth is modelled, not surveyed: the basin is shaped by distance from
shore — deep in open water, shallow in the bays — and scaled so its
volume equals the recorded storage. No national bathymetric survey exists for
US reservoirs. Treat the shoreline, area and volume as measured, and the depth
distribution as an informed approximation.
Above normal pool, water is shown rising within the normal-pool
shoreline. Where it would actually spread depends on the surrounding
terrain, which is not modelled here — a reservoir in a steep canyon barely
widens, one on flat ground can spread a long way. This is a depth and volume
figure, not an inundation map. Official inundation mapping for a dam
comes from its Emergency Action Plan.

About Pomme De Terre Lake Near Hermitage
What is the water level at Pomme De Terre Lake Near Hermitage Reservoir right now?
As of September 4, 2026, Pomme De Terre Lake Near Hermitage Reservoir is holding 841 ft, about 100% of normal for this date. Pool elevation and the year-over-year trend are shown above.
Is Pomme De Terre Lake Near Hermitage Reservoir high or low right now?
Compare the percent-of-normal figure on this page: above 100% means storage is higher than the historical average for the date (a wet year), below 100% means lower (a dry year or drought). The daily-levels chart shows the current trend.
Where does the data for Pomme De Terre Lake Near Hermitage come from?
Daily storage, pool elevation, and release rates are sourced from USGS, USBR, and USACE monitoring stations. Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
Storage observations are updated daily by the operating agency. The 15-day weather forecast refreshes throughout the day. Snoflo caches and renders the most recent observation -- check the "as of" timestamp on the storage card.
What does the Hazard hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card below for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this reservoir, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
