ROARING RIVER SPRING
Missouri has an abundance of springs there are more than 2,900 officially recorded.
I will add a picture of the River Gage in it when I can get to it in the next few days.
From the Web Page:
"Roaring River Spring emerges in a valley wall of Roaring River Hollow at the base of a massive cliff of Cotter Limestone. It is the largest spring in the White River basin with an annual average daily flow of 20.4 million gallons per day. The spring is the 20th largest in Missouri and the water is a constant 57°. The highest ever recorded flow was 144 million gallons per day and the lowest ever recorded was 4.8 million gallons per day. The spring follows a fault line that trends to the north with a displacement of about two feet. This fault is easily visible to someone standing in front of the bluff from which the spring emerges as it continues upward for about 90 feet. Adding to the beauty is another smaller spring perched at the top of this fault."
As always have fun be safe and
