One comes out from teh side of the hill where the pools are, those are over down from the big ass fallen tree that lays across the path. You reach the other spring I believe by following the stream that feeds the pond up it's course. I'm not really sure on that because I've never actually followed it.

There are caves all over the place up there. I don't know how you could miss them! There's a whole big area full of little cement ponds connected with pipes and waterfalls, all of which are spring-fed. I think it's actually the largest spring in Greene Co. Just don't drink from it.

Ok, first I don't intend this to sound rude but for confusion sake, it's Winoka Lodge. It was never called camp which implies it was the place where girl scouts got murdered... which never happened here.

Now that that is out of the way, the directions, take US 60 going to Rogersville. To the south of the road is the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame. Turn off of US 60 and take the road that goes behind it. Follow this road until you come to a 'Y' and go right. The original main road is blocked at the bridge and there is a turn off going left. Park near the bridge, the gates to Winoka Lodge are on your right.

From what I read, Winoka Lodge used to have the biggest spring in Greene County, which was called Big Boiling Spring. But, that spring is now under Lake Springfield.
