Alley Spring

This is a beautiful part of the country. Deep valleys, tall rolling hills, beautiful trees. The mill sets back off the road a bit. When you cross the bridge to approach the mill, the temperature drops considerably because of the cold spring. Such a stunning location.

Alley Spring is located at the foot of a picturesque limestone bluff. The beautiful red Alley Mill is located on its bank, utilizing its perennial flow of water to operate its turbine powered flour mills. The spring has an average daily flow of 81 million gallons of water. During most times the water is a placid azure blue, gently welling up from below, but after a storm has swelled the underground conduits feeding the spring, it can gush forth in angry swells and splashes of brown.

The Alley Spring Roller Mill, also known as Red Mill, is a historic grist mill located in the Ozark National Scenic Riverways near Eminence, Shannon County, Missouri. It was built in 1893, and is a 2 1/2-story, rectangular frame building on a limestone block foundation. It measures 32 feet by 42 feet and houses four steel rollers and a single stone burr.

You can tour the mill. The equipment is still inside and the Park Rangers are incredibly knowledgeable!

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981.

(Alley Mill is located six miles west of Eminence, Mo on State Route 106)

This spring water is crystal clear and blue for as far down as you can see. The green moss/algae that grows along the spring gives it an even more crisp color range. The old red mill is also an added bonus! There are some great hiking trails along at this park as well as camping and a launch area for floating the North Fork river. #Nature
