Highway K

Highway K Park is a campground on the Black River in Missouri, within the Clearwater Recreation Area managed by the Army Corps of Engineers. It sits a few miles upstream of Clearwater Lake, with campsites spread across both sides of the river bank in a wooded area of mixed hardwoods. The park is a base for fishing and canoeing on the river, and campers can also wade into the clear waters during warmer months. The campground has 83 sites, many with electric hookups and some with water hookups. Facilities include a dump station, hot showers, a picnic shelter and a playground. 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 around 70°F, with July peaking near 89°F. Nearby, Sinking Creek offers canoeing about 7 miles away, and Bluff View on Clearwater Lake is about 10 miles off. Elephant Rocks State Park and Johnson Shut-ins State Park are also within easy reach.
