The Osage usually has current from the areas you see from 13 and the Grand does have a lot of shallow areas on the upper end.

Steve is right on. They were pulling some water lately and the Osage is more of a river still at 13 hwy bridge. The Grand and Deepwater arms at the 13 hwy bridges are just a huge shallow flat. So unless the wind really blows continuous during cold temps it will lock up pretty fast. Was a little water showing or at least standing on top of the ice yesterday afternoon when I came across the Grand and Deepwater arms. I bet she is all ice today again.
