About This Trail

This gentle, fully accessible trail leads to one of the most impressive spring emergences in the Ozarks, where crystal-clear water gushes from the mountainside after flowing through Blanchard Caverns below. The paved path winds through shaded forest to observation platforms overlooking the springs and the waterfall created as the water tumbles toward Mirror Lake. The soothing sounds of rushing water and the cool, moist air create a refreshing natural experience accessible to visitors of all abilities.
