Mammoth Spring State Park
A definite must see in Arkansas
Check out the slide shows, pictures, videos, and information below.
Mammoth Springs State Park is located just off Hwy 63 along the Arkansas-Missouri border. This spring is the second largest in the Ozarks and produces nine million gallons of water hourly. At the site is a 10-acre dammed up lake where the remnants of a 19th century mill and hydroelectric plant still can be seen. The Frisco depot from the early 1900's can be toured and a modern train still uses the tracks.The scenic park has picnic tables and a trail around the lake. There is no campgrounds in this park, but if you wish to camp during your visit to this park, I suggest you check out Lake Charles State Park. If you need a motel room, there are some in the city of Mammoth Spring.
