Big Spring - No. 5 - a photo on Flickriver

Big Spring - No. 5

With an average daily flow of 286 million gallons of water, Big Spring is generally considered to be tied for the title of the biggest spring in America. The three contenders for the title are Big Spring, Idaho's Snake River Spring Complex and Florida's Silver Spring. Underground passages carry water from as far as 45 miles away, which roil to the surface at the base of a limestone bluff on the west side of the Current River valley in the Missouri Ozarks in Carter County. The spring is estimated to dissolve and remove 175 tons of limestone during an average day. This dissolved rock gives the water its aqua-blue color, which rises to the surface with great force creating white caps, and then calms to a crystal clear channel.

Big Spring was a Missouri state park from 1924 until 1969, when the people of Missouri donated it to the National Park Service. It is now a part of the Ozark National Scenic Riverways.
