Alley Spring Mill red mill and turquoise water near Eminence Missouri

Photographing Alley Spring: Red Mill, Turquoise Water, Pure 573 Ozarks

Alley Spring Mill sits deep in the Ozarks, six miles west of Eminence on Highway 106, inside the Ozark National Scenic Riverways. The first thing you see is the red mill. It stands bright against the trees and the blue water. Photographers have loved this place forever. The mill even appeared on a U.S. quarter. Walking around the spring, every step gives you a new picture.
