Camden County Lake Quality

Missouri, 42 lakes, average grade C (Fair)

There are 42 graded lakes in Camden County. The mix is varied enough that the county-level average tells you the broad strokes, not the choose-this-cabin specifics. The county average is C — the middle of the rubric, with one or two lakes pulling the average up or down depending on year.

The county's lakes lean shallow, which makes the grades sensitive to wind, sediment-resuspension, and any nutrient inputs from the watershed. The cleanest lake on the books is Loto Lake (B); the most-stressed is W Arm Loto Lake (D).
