The Blackwater River is a tributary of the Lamine River, about 55 miles (90 km) long, in west-central Missouri in the United States. Via the Lamine and Missouri Rivers, it is part of the watershed of the Mississippi River.

[edit] Course

The Blackwater River is formed by short north and south forks in Johnson County about 6 miles (10 km) northwest of Warrensburg and flows generally east-northeastwardly through Johnson, Pettis, Saline and Cooper Counties, past the towns of Sweet Springs and Blackwater. It flows into the Lamine River in northwestern Cooper County, about 4 miles (6 km) southeast of Blackwater.

Several sections of the river's upper course have been straightened and channelized.
