I visited Meramec Spring Park yesterday outside of St James Missouri and it is beautiful. Below are some pictures I took; they should enlarge if you click on them. the Park has the 5th largest spring in Missouri with an average daily flow of 96,000,000 gallons of water per day. It is one of four trout parks in Missouri and allows fishing. It is not a state park but is privately owned by a foundation and is also the home of the 19th century Meramec Iron Works. The cost to enter the park is $5.00 per car.
