Two of America’s clearest and most beautiful spring-fed rivers make up the Ozark National Scenic Riverways, the first national park area to protect a wild river system.http://www.nps.gov/ozar/index.htm The area is best reached via Interstate 44 or U.S. Route 60. From I-44 take State Route 68 south from St James, then take State Route 19 south into the park. From US Route 60, you will reach State Route 19 in Winona if you come from the west. You can then take SR 19 north to the northern areas of the park, or continue east to State Route 103 to visit Big Spring near Van Buren. Park Headquarters and Visitor Center are in Van Buren. If you follow US 60 from the east, you'll reach SR 103 first and then SR 19 about 20 miles further on. (Click on Gil-bear to return to the main menu.)

Gil-bear > Big Spring, Missouri with at an average daily flow of 286 million gallons of water, Big Spring is an awesome sight and a geologic wonder. Underground passages carry water from as far as 45 miles away to emerge at the spring.Studies have shown that the water is carrying a load of dissolved limestone equivalent to 70 tons a day! This dissolved rock gives the spring its color and is also carving out a huge conduit underground.Should the spring ever go dry, a huge cave will be the result.

Gil-bear > Greer Spring, Missouri: The second-largest spring in Missouri is Greer in Oregon County. Greer Spring branch carries 220 million gallons of water a day to the nearby Eleven Point River. Even in the stillness of winter, the spring and branch provide a unique beauty. The spring actually emerges from two different spots — from within the mouth of Greer Spring Cave and up from the bed of the branch itself. The spring, which is on U.S. Forest Service land, is 18 miles south of Winona on Highway 19.
