Springs

Many don't know about this out-of-the-way spring in Missouri that you must hike to or float to for access.

You can say whatever you want about Missouri and you might even be right, but there's no arguing about how awesome the natural geographical features of the state are. Someone counted all the natural springs in the state and the number is beyond incredible.

Missouri is blessed with some incredible water places and this is a great example. The 2nd largest spring in the state pumps out a massive 210 million gallons of water every single day.

I've always been a fan of the underdog. That's why I appreciate places that I consider hidden gems in Missouri. One of my favorites is a part of the state that is canvased by deep springs, waterfalls and also wild horses.

It's hard to wrap your mind around how deep the deepest Missouri spring is. Here's an example that will give you a perspective maybe you can imagine. The deepest spring in Missouri has a depth that could drown the Statue of Liberty. It's that deep.

By any measure, this Missouri spring is an overachiever. Not only is it the biggest spring in Missouri, but also one of the largest in the world unloading a massive 13,000 liters of water every single second. This just in. That's a lot of water.

It's one of Missouri's first state parks and it also happens to be one of the biggest springs in America. See for yourself the wonders of Big Spring State Park in Missouri.
