Mossy Creek (Missouri)
Mossy Creek is a stream in Benton County in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1] It is a tributary to the Osage River within the Lake of the Ozarks.
The stream headwaters arise just east of Missouri Route M at 38°12′58″N 93°13′02″W / 38.21611°N 93.21722°W and about two miles west-northwest of the community of Hastain. The stream flows north then east paralleling Route M to its confluence with the Osage south of Lakeview Heights at 38°15′04″N 93°09′51″W / 38.25111°N 93.16417°W.[1][2]
Mossy Creek was so named on account of wetlands along its course.[3]
