Missouri has no shortage of crystal-clear lakes and rivers, where both visitors and locals love spending leisurely days floating and soaking up the sun. However, if you’ve only got a few hours to spare, head to Blue Spring in Eminence, Missouri. It boasts the most brilliant blue water in the state, making it a fun and beautiful destination. While swimming is not allowed, the sheer beauty of the blue water is worth the visit. I think this is, undoubtedly, one of the most gorgeous natural springs in Missouri.
