Beautiful place to take pics and go for a stroll or hike

Absolutely beautiful! A must see if you're near Eminence. We stayed at Echo Bluff State Park and the drive from there was only 30 minutes. The water is a brilliant blue, and the contrast of the red mill is truly picturesque. My photos don't do it justice in how vivid the colors are. Inside the mill, a park ranger was glad to give us a brief summary of its history, and there are plenty of informational plaques beside the old machinery. You can even go upstairs and see more of the inner workings, but unfortunately the basement and attic are off limits. There's a short 0.3 mile walking trail around the spring that's worth the few minutes walk if you're able. It was a little muddy in just a few places since it had rained the day before, but nothing too rugged. There's also a longer 1.5 mile trail that we didn't take on this visit, but will definitely be on the list for next time!

Very nice place to check out, there were only a couple people there when we came and it is just so pretty. So many photo opportunities and things to explore. Very easy to drive to, nice big parking lot, paved walking path up to the bridge to the mill area.

A beautiful hidden gem. The water was a brilliant blue to emerald green depending on the light play. Worth the drive.

Beautiful historical mill. Very well maintained in a pristine setting. Pictures don’t accurately capture the calming beauty. A must visit in Missouri. Enjoy the drive too.
