Grandglaize Creek is a creek and tributary to the Osage River that forms the Grand Glaize Arm of the Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri. The creek flows for 10 miles (16 km) before reaching the Lake of the Ozarks, and the Grand Glaize Arm extends another 15 miles (24 km) before reaching the Osage River within the lake.[1]
The creek as recognized by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) is spelled as one word.[2] However it is widely spelled as two words Grand Glaize. It should not be confused with the Grand Glaize Creek which is a tributary to the Meramec River in St. Louis County, Missouri.
The creek is formed by the confluence of Dry Auglaize Creek and Wet Glaize Creek about one mile north of Toronto, Missouri in Camden County. From there it flows north into Miller County.[3] It passes near Brumley and passes under the Grand Auglaize Bridge.
According to the Missouri Department of Natural Resources the lowest flow that could be expected in a 10-day period is 16 cubic feet (0.45 m3) a second.[4] The creek becomes part of the Lake of the Ozarks at the extreme southeast corner of Lake of the Ozarks State Park.
