Bolivar Park

Bolivar Park, also known as Bolivar Landing, provides day-use access to the upper Pomme de Terre River Arm of Pomme de Terre Lake. This facility offers a boat ramp and courtesy loading dock, making it suitable for launching kayaks, canoes, and motorized boats. The ramp accesses the "Gem of the Ozarks"—Pomme de Terre Lake—known for its cool, clear spring waters. The day-use area also features a picnic shelter and playground, providing convenient amenities for families and paddling groups.

Located near Adonis in Polk County, Bolivar Park is positioned on the upper end of the lake system. For paddlers exploring the Pomme de Terre River Arm, this northern access point offers good launching conditions. The nearby Outlet Park, situated below Pomme de Terre Dam, provides additional recreation opportunities for canoeing and fishing on the river downstream.
