Parks Creek

Parks Creek is a stream in Wright and Laclede counties in the Ozarks of southern Missouri.[1] Parks Creek begins at the confluence of two valleys south of Grovespring and just west of Missouri Route 5. The stream flows essentially due north parallel to Route 5 and joins the Osage Fork Creek in southern Laclede County just northeast of Pease and the State Route J bridge. In northernmost Wright County the stream flows through the Dr John Alva Fuson Conservation Area. Parks Creek Road follows the stream from Grovespring north to Route J.[2]

The stream source is at 37°19′23″N 92°36′39″W / 37.32306°N 92.61083°W / 37.32306; -92.61083, and the confluence with the Osage Fork is at 37°30′13″N 92°37′27″W / 37.50361°N 92.62417°W / 37.50361; -92.62417.[1]
