beautiful, historic state parks, each with their own special
mission. The other thing they each have is a geocache. This
adventure is based around visiting all 52 state parks. Each park
cache has a clue that you will need to find the final, 53rd
cache located somewhere in the state. Just download the clue sheet and start your adventure. We
encourage you to upload photos on the geocaching.com page when
you find one and also to tell us about your visit to the park on

Mammoth Spring
State Park
Mammoth Spring is Arkansas's largest spring and the second largest
spring in the Ozark Mountains. A National Natural Landmark, the
spring flows nine million gallons of water hourly. Forming a scenic
10-acre lake, it then flows south as the Spring River, a popular
Ozark trout and float stream. Located near the spring, the park's
1886 Frisco depot will take you back in time to an early 1900s
train station. Parked just outside the train station is a Frisco
caboose to explore, too.
Here at the picturesque park, remnants of a mill and hydroelectric
plant also reflect Mammoth Spring's history. Park facilities
include an information center that also serves as an Arkansas
Welcome Center. Exhibits here share the story of the area's history
and natural resources. Nearby are picnic sites, a trail, ball
field, and children's playground. Mammoth Spring State Park is
located on U.S. 63 in Mammoth Spring.
