Always fun to feed the fish. They're greedy things. Glad you got to have a dry breakfast. That's such a pretty spring.

[@HappyTrailsHiking]

So fun to feed the fish. That dry breakfast was important! The spring is SO pretty! Thanks, Lori

Love state park footage and videos! Thanks for all you do for public land and parks!

[@HappyTrailsHiking]

We do a lot of that. Happy there are so many State Parks near us to cover. 😄

[@WithinHikingDistance]

This looks like a wonderful State Park to visit! It looks like a State Park from Upstate NY. This is one of Missouri's gems. If we are in the area, we will need to see it. Thank you for making us see how beautiful it is, Kay 😊

[@HappyTrailsHiking]

This is a favorite for us in Missouri. Yes, add this to your list if you are ever in the area.

[@IanYGath]

[@HappyTrailsHiking]

It was a great vacation and a good time of exploring our state. We don't get down to Southwest MO often enough.

[@awitnessuntoallnations]

Great video with some unexpected sights! We haven't done any adventuring in Missouri yet, but this park looks like a fun place to stop and explore. Thanks for sharing your experience with us! 👍😊

[@DesmondsDonders]

It was aptly named Roaring River. Thank you Kay & Matt great to see a video from you. Take care and stay safe.

[@HappyTrailsHiking]

It is a good name for this place. Thanks, David. Happy to have solid footage to edit again. 😄

[@midwestsmalltown]

btw..that waterfall at the end! A-Mazing!

[@HappyTrailsHiking]

It’s a beautiful area. 😄

[@pandathehikingmom917]

That crystal clear water is so pretty. Hard to come across the blues in that water these days.

[@HappyTrailsHiking]

Missouri has some epic Springs that are fortunately protected so they stay blue and clean. Thanks, Panda.

[@elflordsjourneys]

Nice to see water and green plants, the west is in a severe drought, lakes are drying up🥵

[@HappyTrailsHiking]

We are watching the water levels out West and are very concerned. Thank you fo stopping in to see our water. Take care. 🤗

[@bridgetsigrist6383]

How do we get to the mouth of the spring where the waterfall is? Up deer leap trail? Awesome video! We're going out to explore roaring rivers today!!!

[@HappyTrailsHiking]

There’s a side walk from the fish hatchery parking lot. Really easy to get to. Enjoy your visit.

[@CarinSomers]

Why was it called deer leape ??? Can you also spot some deer there ??

[@HappyTrailsHiking]

There are deer in the area. I am not sure of why they called the trail that. I tried to look up the history and came up with no info. Thanks, Carin.

[@failedit5695]

I went to Roaring River on a field trip back in school. The Park Ranger took us up the Deer Leap trail and told us how it got its name. So a long time ago a deer was being chased. I can't remember if it was being hunted by a person or an animal. I'm thinking it was a hunter. Anyways as it came to the cliff edge at the top of the trail where the platform is built, the deer leaped off and into the water that is below and survived. It's a long way down so it must have been pretty awesome to see.
