Carter Lake is a city in Pottawattamie County, Iowa, United States. The population was 3,248 at the 2000 census. Nestled inside it's oxbow-shaped lake namesake, the city of Carter Lake stands unique among Iowa cities as the only Iowa city west of the Missouri River. The over 3,000 residents of Carter Lake, Iowa, are surrounded on three sides by Omaha, Nebraska and its fourth boundary, the Missouri River. This gives our fair city the advantage of small town friendliness and the convenience of nearby big city attractions and shopping.

Within the city, visitors and residents alike enjoy the closeness to the water with boating, fishing and skiing on the 300+ acre Carter Lake with dockside access in the newly remodeled Mabrey Park.

Right along the lake is the 18-hole Shoreline Golf Course, and the Blue Waters Mini-Golf miniature golf course is just down the street offering another 18 holes of fun.

For those wishing to spend a few extra days enjoying the Carter Lake area, the city boosts a number of hotels in it's immediate area and Omaha's Eppley Airfield is just minutes away.

Along with Carter Lake's own attractions, the city is just a few minutes from Omaha's Old Market District and downtown area, the Joslyn Art Museum, and Omaha Children's Museum.
