Overview
Clearwater Lake is a roughly 1,800-acre reservoir on the Black River near Piedmont in Wayne and Reynolds counties in southeast Missouri. It was created in 1948 when the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers completed Clearwater Dam as part of a broader flood-control plan for the White and lower Mississippi River basins. The project is operated primarily for flood risk reduction, with recreation and fish and wildlife habitat as important secondary benefits.
