About 5 minutes outside of my hometown is a popular river access spot called "Buck Hollow" It is a highly trafficked area for swimmers, floaters, and anglers. However, just a few yards south of the Buck Hollow parking lot is a hidden little gem we like to call Moss Rock Spring.
I'm actually not sure if the spring has an official name, and if so, what that name might be. My Dad used to take us hiking as kids, and appropriately titled this beautiful place as Moss Rock Spring. We've referred to it as such ever since :)
Most of my photos are not in focus, whatsoever. But at a certain point, it was so humid and the hike was so steep that I gave up on adjusting my camera settings and resorted to "auto" option. I cared less about image quality and more about documenting the fact that we were there!
However, I think it really shows the intense amount of moss and other growth around the spring! (There's @kayla.denise checking out the scenery!)
I've been going here for years, but it has been a very long time since I've made the effort to go out and hike this beautiful little spot again. Earlier this week, on the 4th of July, my good friend @kayla.denise and I went to visit the spring. You can check out her view of the hike here:

I was there last year. Really great place with a lot of beautiful scenery. Nice shots. :) Keep walking and posting ;) Have a good one . Resteem

Steemit has actually allowed me to connect with several people from Arkansas and I cannot wait to go explore more there asap!!! My husband @jasonrussell and I took a little trip last year down to a few places along the Buffalo and it was gorgeous! I think the #steemitozarks tag is going to be a big thing on here very soon! Let's share our adventures!

I love how "down home" these names are. There's something sort of nostalgic and comfortable about a place named Buck Hollow and Moss Rock Spring. So much green! Loved these shots. Looks like y'all had fun :) Followed for more green hikes !

I love this comment @chrissymchavez! ;) It is a very "down home" type of place, just outside of our small town of about 3,000 people.

I'm originally from Arkansas, but have lived in Colorado for the past six years. This post makes me think of a trail near the Buffalo River called Indian Creek. The Ozarks are so lovely with all the water, moss, and limestone. Thank you for sharing such beauty.

Neat! I'll have to remember to look up Indian creek because we plan on making a trip to Arkansas soon! I was born in Colorado but we moved when I was just a baby. My family and I just took our first trip back out there to Colorado Springs a couple years ago and we loved it! So beautiful!
