The Gasconade River is a 280-mile-long river in central Missouri, USA. It was named after the Gasconade people who originally lived in the area. The river is a popular destination for fishing, canoeing, and camping. The hydrology of the Gasconade River is characterized by seasonal variations in flow, with high levels during spring and summer due to snowmelt and precipitation. The river has four main reservoirs/dams: Bagnell Dam, Harry S. Truman Dam, Pomme de Terre Dam, and Lake of the Ozarks Dam. These dams provide flood control, power generation, and recreational opportunities. The Gasconade River watershed is also an important agricultural area, with corn, soybeans, and livestock being the primary agricultural products.
