Port Hudson Lake near Gerald, MO is a 50 acre lake. The drive through the country to get here is very scenic. The lake has cat fish, crappie, bass and sun fish. There is a good ramp, courtesy dock and ample parking. A boat isn't required but you have access to a lot more water with one. This is an electric lake only, you can't operate your gas motor. This lake is great for kayak, canoe fishing also..
"The 225-acre area was acquired in 1989-90 and named after the small community of Port Hudson, located two miles southeast. The 55-acre lake and facilities were developed in 1992 and 1993. Lake elevation is 700 feet. The lake opened for fishing March 31, 1997."

We didn't have much luck when we fished here but it was 95 degrees and the water temperature was 88 degrees. We heard good things about this lake and will come back under better circumstances.
