Creve Coeur Lake
About Creve Coeur Lake
Creve Coeur Lake provides a spacious natural setting in St. Louis County, Missouri, where anglers and nature lovers can enjoy a broad water surface that stretches across 320 acres. Despite its wide expanse, the lake is notably shallow, contributing to an accessible and productive environment for various fish species. The lake's character is shaped by its history as an oxbow lake once connected to the Missouri River, now linked by a small creek at the northeast end. This lake is bordered by several towns including Maryland Heights, Creve Coeur, and Bridgeton, offering convenient access for local visitors. The surrounding landscape also includes Pere Marquette State Park, which adds to the area's natural appeal and provides a scenic backdrop for outdoor activities.
