We are new to Missouri and were told this is a must see. I’m glad we went! It’s a bit of a drive from Springfield, but so worth it! The water is absolutely gorgeous!! Be sure to hike around the mill. Because we went during winter months, the tour hadn’t started up so we will have to go back for that. There are some informational posts so you can still get some history even without the tour.

There are campgrounds nearby if you want to make a weekend trip!
