HOUR+ JOURNEY FROM MOUNTAIN VIEW

Falling Spring
This spring is located just off Highway 19 on Hurricane Creek, near the Eleven Point River. Follow the sign on
Highway 19 for “Falling Spring Mill”, then turn right at the fork in the road. Enjoy crossing the foot bridge that
connects the spring branch to the mill pond.

Hodgson Mill
Built in 1894 over a spring that pours 29 million gallons of water every day into Bryant River, this beautiful old
mill is nestled on the side of a hill surrounded by beautiful, old trees. Bring your camera! The Missouri Depart-
ment of Tourism has identified this mill as the most photographed mill in the state.

Dawt Mill
Built in 1897, Dawt is the only water-powered grist mill located on the North Fork River. The view from the
mill overlooking this trophy trout stream cannot be matched. It is now a resort with canoeing, lodging, camp-
ing, food and supplies.

Grand Gulf State Park
Grand Gulf is often called the “Little Grand Canyon.” This marvel of nature was created when the ceiling of a
giant cave collapsed. The gulf winds for a mile through vertical walls as high as 120 feet. A portion of the cave
roof remains as a natural bridge that spans 200 feet and has an opening of 75 feet. Hiking trails and picnic sites
are available.

Rockbridge Mill
Built in 1868, this mill was once the focal point of a thriving village. Although the mill is no longer operating, it
is still a main attraction at the Rainbow Trout and Game Ranch. If you like fishing for trout, shooting sporting
clays, relaxing in your cabin or eating a delicious trout dinner, this is the place for you!

Mammoth Spring
Just across the Arkansas state line on south 63, this is the largest spring in Arkansas and 10th largest in the
world. An average 9.78 million gallons of water an hour flow into a 9.5 acre lake and then heads up the Spring
River. The park includes a Tourist Information Center, 1888 Dam/Waterfall, restored hydroelectric plant, hik-
ing trail around the lake, pavilion, picnic area, 1886 train depot museum, baseball field and natural area home
to many species.
