Little Lost Creek is Warren County's rugged creek country
Little Lost Creek Conservation Area brings glades, oak-hickory woods, sandstone outcrops, and a partially spring-fed stream into central Warren County.
Little Lost Creek gives Warren County a more rugged outdoor identity than the I-70 corridor suggests. Missouri Department of Conservation describes the conservation area as a 2,899-acre place in the Missouri River hills of central Warren County.
The MDC page says Little Lost Creek is partly spring-fed, with clear water and a rocky stream bed. It also describes oak-hickory forest, woodlands, glades, scattered fields, St. Peter sandstone outcrops, side drainages, and intermittent waterfalls.
Little Lost Creek anchors Warren County’s outdoor landscape in a specific valley. North-county highway growth and south-county Missouri River towns have wooded creek country between them.
