Logan Creek (Black River)
Logan Creek is a stream in western Reynolds County in the Ozarks of southeast Missouri. It is a tributary of the Black River.
The source area of the stream lies just south of Missouri Route 72 northwest of Reynolds. The stream flows south parallel to Missouri Route B and then turns east near the community of Exchange and flows parallel to Missouri Route 106 past northeast Ellington. East of Ellington the stream turns southeast and enters Clearwater Lake and its confluence with the Black River.
Logan Creek has the name of James Logan, a pioneer citizen.
Tornado
In 8 May, 2009, a derecho-embedded tornado went through the Logan Creek Conservation Area.
From John Kabrick, one of the people in the area when it happened, "There was a short time when I had no idea that we would actually get through it. It just seemed like a matter of time before trees would fall on us."
The damage can be seen from satellite.
The tornado killed zero people and injured three.
