Review:
Harry S. Truman Lake is the largest lake in Missouri, located only a mile and a half from the city of Warsaw. The 55,406-acre reservoir was created as a result of the construction of the Kaysinger Bluff Dam in 1977. The reservoir is used for the generation of hydroelectric power, for flood control, as a wildlife habitat, and as a great recreation spot. The Osage River is the outlet of the Truman Lake and flows almost directly into the Lake of the Ozarks. The massive lake has 958 miles of shoreline and a depth of 40 feet. It has several tributaries and is surrounded with small, secluded coves that are perfect for exploring by kayak or canoe. The lake is rich in crappie, largemouth bass, blue catfish, and flathead catfish.
