Horse Fork

Horse Fork is a stream in Clinton County in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1] It is a tributary of the Little Platte River.

According to the State Historical Society of Missouri, Horse Fork may have been named for a horse-powered gristmill near its banks.[2] The source is in the center-north of Clinton County, about 2.5 miles northeast of the extinct town of Delaney. The stream runs southerly, passes east just outside of Plattsburg, and joins the Little Tarkio River.
