History

Established in 1983.

The dam creating Long Branch Lake was completed in the late 1970’s. The creation of the dam controlled the flow of the Long Branch Creek and East Fork of the Little Chariton River. The lake and surrounding property is owned by the US Army Corps of Engineers, but a long-​term lease was established between the Missouri State Parks and the Corps establishing Long Branch State Park.

Originally from Southeast Missouri I graduated from the University of Missouri-​Columbia with a degree in Fisheries & Wildlife Sciences. I have worked on various natural resource projects across the nation, but at home on a lake with family is where I most like to be.
