Completed in 1941, Wappapello Lake annually provides an estimated $3.9 million in flood protection to agricultural lands and developed areas along the St. Francis River. In 1996, the mascot Ranger Willie B. Safe was created at Wappapello Lake as part of a water safety awareness campaign. Selected as the 1999 and 2008 Natural Resources Project of the Year, Wappapello Lake averages 1 million visitors annually.
