Mountains on the St. Francis River in Southeast Missouri. 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.
