@empty.nest.advent: Did you know this beautiful Missouri spring was almost surrounded by a very different landscape? Round Spring became one of Missouri’s first state parks in 1924. But decades ago, there were plans to build hydroelectric dams along the Current River, something that could have permanently changed this incredible river landscape. Thankfully, conservationists fought to protect it, and their efforts helped preserve the Current River for generations to enjoy. Today, Round Spring is part of the Ozark National Scenic Riverways. #RoundSpring #Missouri #Ozarks #CurrentRiver #OzarkNationalScenicRiverways
