Lake Creek is a small, unincorporated community located in Benton County, Missouri, in the United States. An unincorporated community means it's a group of homes or buildings that isn't officially part of a town or city. It doesn't have its own local government.
This community is found along Supplemental Route JJ. It is about 5.2 miles (8.4 km) northeast of a town called Cole Camp.
Where Did Lake Creek Get Its Name?
Lake Creek gets its name from a nearby stream. This stream once had many "sloughs" along its path. Sloughs are like swampy areas or small, muddy lakes. These watery spots gave the stream, and then the community, its unique name.
