Lake Tapawingo in Jackson County, Missouri is a man-made lake impounded by a dam (a private reservoir within the city of Lake Tapawingo). Lake Tapawingo’s watershed is part of the Lower Missouri River drainage system, meaning surface runoff and outflow from the lake generally move northward into streams that eventually reach larger tributaries of the Missouri River.
