Otter Creek is a stream in Cooper and Morgan Counties in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1] It is a tributary of the Lamine River.
The stream headwaters arise in northern Morgan County northeast of Syracuse and just west of Missouri Route 5 at 38°40′37″N 92°51′36″W[1] at an elevation of about 930 feet.[2] The stream flows to the northwest into Cooper County and on to its confluence with the Lamine River about two miles northeast of Otterville[3] at 38°43′35″N 92°58′39″W and an elevation of 645 feet.[1]
Otter Creek was so named for the fact it was a hunting ground for otters by pioneers.[4]
