I don't think it's an arrowhead but it COULD have been a tool known as a flake blade. It is a flake of chert and it looks to have been found in a creek. It is hard for me to tell from the pictures whether the one side was worked/sharpened by humans or just flaked in the creek. I'd keep it.

Thanks for taking a look. It seems to have been worked a little from what I can tell and not natural. Maybe it is an old flake blade. It almost seems more primitive than what you would expect to see. I'll have to take a longer look around the property the next time I go back. I've seen the lake on old maps and my relatives said it's spring fed.

There's lots of points and artifacts there in Warren County! I knew of a lady that lived there and built their home on the part of warren County where the land sloped down towards the Missouri River and found box's of points and NOT knowing the value of these ended up giving the entire collection to one of het uncles !
