Central Missouri / Missouri River Corridor
Lamine River Conservation Area is shared with Morgan County
Cooper County is not only a Missouri River and Katy Trail county. The Missouri Department of Conservation places Lamine River Conservation Area in Cooper and Morgan counties, east of Otterville, with Highway 50 and Route A bisecting the area.
That makes the Lamine a practical piece of local geography. A resident or visitor looking for public land near the county line should check MDC’s area page for the current map, allowed uses, hunting and fishing rules, and any area-specific notices.
The source also gives the area real local texture: river bottom, farm ground, prairie history, woodland, fishing, wildlife viewing, and hunting all meet there. It is a good reminder that Cooper County’s outdoors story is broader than the Missouri River corridor alone.
