A little while back, we decided to take a day trip to see some of the beautiful scenery in the Ozark Mountains in South Central Missouri. We set out looking for some hiking trails and to see some beautiful springs and rivers that the Ozarks have to offer. After a stop and short hike near the Current River, we headed to Alley Spring to see the the beautiful spring and restored mill. This was our first time in this area of the Ozarks. The drive there was nearly 3 hours, but we will be back. Checkout our photos of Alley Spring, Alley Mill, and the hiking trail around the park. They say Alley Mill is the most photographed mill in Missouri and you will see why in the pictures. There are some parts of the trails that are handicap accessible and some slightly rugged. The park offers some nice picnic areas as well. Some trails are also open to horseback riding also.
