Tywappity Community Lake consists of 147 acres of woodland and 37 acres of surface water. The Missouri Conservation Department acquired the property for the lake in 1957 from several local landowners. Memphis silt loam soils predominate here and support a wide variety of tree, shrub and plant life, which in turn, helps support a diversity of wildlife. Management of the area is directed toward protecting the watershed and providing recreational facilities. A large grassy area near the lake has a pavilion, four picnic tables and two BBQ grills. Outdoor activities include bird watching and hiking along the 2.5 mile Tywappity Trail. The lake has good populations of bass, catfish, crappie, and sunfish. There is a concrete boat ramp with an adjacent floating courtesy dock with a fish cleaning station.
