<P> The Lake of the Ozarks is a large reservoir created by impounding the Osage River in the northern part of the Ozarks in central Missouri . Extents of three smaller tributaries to the Osage are included in the impoundment : the Niangua River , Grandglaize Creek , and Gravois Creek . The lake has a surface area of 54,000 acres ( 220 km ) and 1,150 miles ( 1,850 km ) of shoreline , and the main channel of the Osage Arm stretches 92 miles ( 148 km ) from end to end . The total drainage area is over 14,000 square miles ( 36,000 km ) . The lake 's serpentine shape has earned it the nickname `` The Magic Dragon '' , which has in turn inspired the names of local institutions such as The Magic Dragon Street Meet . </P>
