Truman Lake is the largest man-made lake in Missouri. The surface area is slightly larger than the Lake of the Ozarks. Truman is a flood control lake and is used in part to control the level of the Lake of the Ozarks. Truman is operated by the Corps of Engineers and in contrast to Lake of the Ozarks, does not allow homes and docks on the water. As a result, it's more natural looking and favored by fishermen.
The bottom of this photo shows part of Truman Dam. The output from the dam is the start of Lake of the Ozarks. The lake continues for 92 miles and ends at Bagnell Dam.
