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.

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.
