Clearwater Lake is a 1,727-acre reservoir in Missouri, part of the Clearwater Recreation Area managed by the Army Corps of Engineers. It is a fishing destination, and the surrounding recreation area makes it a base for exploring the water and the land around it. For comfortable weather, aim for late spring or early fall. Typical averages from the nearby Clearwater Dam weather station show May highs around 77°F and October highs near 70°F, with July peaking at about 89°F. Bluff View, a fishing spot on the lake, lies about 1.7 miles away, and River Road Park, a river fishing area, is about 2.1 miles off. Paddlers can head to Webb Creek, roughly 5 miles away.
