Harry S Truman Dam
Dams
The Harry S Truman Dam, is quite a sight to behold. Stretching over 7,000 feet in length and towering over 200 feet in height, it's definitely a feat of engineering. But let's be honest, the first thing that comes to mind when you hear "dam" is probably not excitement. However, this one is different. Not only does it provide flood control and hydroelectric power, but it's also a great spot for fishing and recreation. So, if you're in the area, take a detour and check it out.

Truman Reservoir
Lake/ River/ Ponds
Truman Reservoir is not your average body of water. Sure, it's a great place for water sports like boating and fishing, but it also offers a unique opportunity for history buffs. You see, back in the 1950s, the construction of the Truman Dam resulted in the creation of this 55,000-acre reservoir that now houses submerged towns and artifacts from a bygone era. It's like an underwater time capsule! Plus, let's be real, the views of the surrounding Ozark hills are pretty gorgeous.
