Clear Branch is a stream in Platte County in the U.S. state of Missouri.[3] It is a tributary of the Platte River and is 3.5 miles (5.6 km) long.[1]
Clear Branch was so named on account of its clear water.[4] Clear Branch begins a few mile east of Platte City and flows northwesterly towards Platte Falls Conservation Area and deposits into the Platte River after flowing through a few ponds.
