Mammoth Spring

And last but not least . . .

Our second excursion was to Mammoth Spring. It's a spring about 45 minutes northwest of Powhatan, about 2 miles from the Missouri border. We really enjoyed our time there, even though it was brief.


Here are the girls standing in front of the falls. Approximately 9,000,000 gallons of water pour over these falls every hour!


Here is the spring where the water is actually coming up from the ground. We're looking at it from an overlook. It was breathtaking.


Another beautiful view . . . the water making its way to the falls.

The beginnings of the Spring River.

Being a fresh spring, the water maintains a "refreshing" temperature of about 58 degrees farenheit. That's not an experience they'll soon forget! : ) Brrr . . .

Looking back on the falls.
