With a water storage capacity of
more than 5 million acres the Truman Reservoir is the biggest
flood control reservoir in the state of Missouri. Truman Reservoir,
and more than 100,000 acres of land surrounding the lake, is managed
for fish and wildlife. Over 55,000 acres in the area are licensed
to the Missouri Department of Conservation for fish and wildlife
management and approximately 8,800 acres of timber was left standing
in the lake in order to improve habitat for game fish.
Truman Reservoir features extensive recreational development.
Some 20 parks and access areas are conveniently located around
the lake. Park areas at Truman Reservoir also provide a wide range
of recreation facilities, such as boating launch ramps, Missouri
campgrounds, full service marinas, picnic areas, sandy beaches,
swimming areas and a regional visitor center. The recreational
areas at the Truman Reservoir Lake are managed by the Army Corps
of Engineers. |
