Lost Creek (Meramec River tributary)

Lost Creek is a stream located in the Meramec River basin of east-central Missouri, USA. It is a tributary of the Meramec River, contributing to its overall watershed. The creek's course generally flows through a primarily rural and forested landscape, typical of the Ozark region. While specific details like precise length, drainage area, and significant features may vary, Lost Creek generally exhibits the characteristics of a small, Ozark stream, including clear water (depending on local conditions), a rocky bed, and associated riparian vegetation. Local recreational uses may include fishing, hiking, and nature observation, though access may be restricted depending on land ownership and local regulations. Further detailed information, such as specific fish species present, water quality data, and historical information, may be available through local government agencies (e.g., the Missouri Department of Conservation) and environmental organizations.
