Hidden Missouri Lake Feeds Mammoth Spring Wonder
In Oregon County Missouri and Sharp County Arkansas a hidden underground lake feeds Mammoth Spring, the world’s largest, with about 60 000 cubic feet of water per minute. Water from two canyons drops into a deep tunnel forming a natural bridge like Virginia’s, and only in-river levels rise but Mammoth Spring remains unchanged. The lake remains largely unexplored and light cannot reach its depths.
