Maramec Spring, Natural spring and National Natural Landmark in Phelps County, United States.
The spring releases 100 million gallons of water daily, forming a turquoise pool surrounded by pine, oak, and hickory trees.
From 1826 to 1876, the Maramec Iron Works operated at this location as the first successful iron production facility west of the Mississippi River.
The Missouri Department of Conservation maintains a trout hatchery at the spring, producing 100,000 fish annually for recreational fishing activities.
Visitors need to obtain both a Missouri fishing permit and a daily trout tag before fishing in the spring waters.
The spring maintains its original spelling of Maramec, different from the nearby Meramec River, based on early U.S. Government land surveys.
