Review:
Tucked in the middle of the Ozark Mountains in southeastern Missouri, 1,600-acre Clearwater Lake was originally built to help with flood control, but the proximity of the City of Piedmont and three parks quickly made it a local favorite recreation area.
Clearwater Lake was created in 1948 as a result of the construction of the Clearwater Dam and is an impoundment of the Black River.
The level of the water in the lake fluctuates between June and September, and as a consequence there are no vacation rentals on the lakeshore.
The lake is very popular for swimming, canoeing, boating, water-skiing, and fishing.
