Mark Twain National Forest is so expansive, at more than 1.5 million acres, that we could probably spend our entire lives exploring and not see it all. However, there are quite a few hidden gems tucked within the forest that we definitely want to try to see. Greer Spring Trail, for example, will lead you through old growth forest and to Missouri’s second-largest spring.
Prepare for somewhat of a challenge along the moderately-rated Greer Spring Trail in Mark Twain National Forest. The scenic trail spans less than two miles.
Snap photos of the powerful spring, because that's pretty much all you can do. Swimming, floating, wading, and fishing are not allowed in the spring branch.
Have you ever followed Greer Spring Trail to the second largest spring in Missouri? Share your experience in the comments! Once you’ve visited Greer Spring, consider planning a visit to Blue Spring, the eighth largest spring in Missouri. (You have to see the absolutely gorgeous blue color of the spring.)
