Biggest Lakes in Missouri

The Biggest Lakes in Missouri  (by acreage)

There are an estimated 568 lakes across the state of Missouri. Many are small lakes that only a few people know about, while others are massive that attract millions of people. There are also 9 hydroelectric dams in the Show Me State that still produce electricity. And that is how many of the lakes on this list were formed. But it has been decades since any substantial lakes like the ones below have been formed by the building of dams. So this list likely won’t be changing for decades to come… if ever! Here are the biggest lakes in Missouri (by acreage).

  1. Truman Lake           55,600
  2. Lake of the Ozarks     54,000
  3. Bull Shoals Lake       45,150
  4. Table Rock Lake         43,100
  5. Stockton Lake           24,900
  6. Norfolk Lake              22,000
  7. Mark Twain Lake         18,600
  8. Lake Wappapello          8,400
  9. Pomme de Terre Lake 7,820
  10. Smithville Lake              7,190
