Taney County Lake Quality

Missouri, 11 lakes, average grade B (Good)

Taney County has 11 graded lakes — a thin enough sample that one or two stressed lakes can move the county average noticeably. Use the per-lake pages below for what actually matters. With an average grade of B, Taney County sits comfortably above the Missouri median.

Most of the county's monitored lakes are shallow — under 50 feet — which means wind keeps the water column mixed all summer and sediment-bound phosphorus releases back into the surface layer whenever the bottom is disturbed. Lake Taneycomo Nr. Roark Cr. (A) is the cleanest in the county.
