Шаблон:Short description Gravois Creek is a stream in south central Morgan County, Missouri.[1] It is a tributary of the Osage River within the Lake of the Ozarks.[2]

The stream headwaters arise along the east side of Missouri Route 135 approximately 3.5 miles south of Stover[2] at Шаблон:Coord[1] at an elevation of approximately 1100 feet.[3] The stream flows east to southeast passing under Missouri Route 5 to enter the waters of the Lake of the Ozarks at Gravois Mills[2] at Шаблон:Coord and an elevation of 663 feet.[1] Prior to the impoundment of the lake the stream confluence with the Osage River was at approximately Шаблон:Coord and an elevation of Шаблон:Convert on the Morgan-Camden county line approximately eight miles southeast of Gravois Mills.[4]

The stream was named for the large quantity of gravel in its streambed from the French "gravois" rubbish or gravel.[5]
