#055 – Camp Winoka
Winoka Lodge (Camp Winoka) "The camp where Girl Scouts were murdered along Lake Springfield"
Located near Lake Springfield, near the interchange of Highways 60 and 65, you will find in the woods are the remains of the once prominent Winoka Lodge or Winoka Club. It was founded in or around 1890 as a hunter's club on the James River south of Springfield, and the property originally encompassed fifty-four acres and had around a dozen springs. The lodge also contained a spring called Big Boiling Spring that was considered to be the largest in Greene County. Unfortunately, Big Boiling Spring is now lost somewhere below the waters of Lake Springfield. The lodge featured ten springs in a small canyon, called the Cotton Gin or Roaring Springs. These springs were diverted in sculptured pools and fountains, many of which are still there today. The springs were also used to provide the drinking water for the lodge, and in later years, to fill the swimming pool. Winoka Lodge was owned by the Schweitzer family in the 1920's and used as a summer home. The name "Winoka" means "Great Spirit". Stories have circulated that Winoka Lodge area is haunted, but this is unsubstantiated. The lodge's remote location along Lake Springfield and numerous unused buildings on the property may have resulted in a mistaken attribution to an incident, which occurred near Locust Grove, Oklahoma. Three girl scouts were murdered at a Girl Scout camp near Locust Grove, Oklahoma, on June 13, 1977, and the campsite closed permanently the following day due to that incident.
I took this picture serval years ago on scouting and planned to come out with proper lighting to get a proper picture but the land was bought and construction had started. I am assuming this is now converted to residential homes. You never know what you will find in the Ozarks. See more like this at www.417art.com and get out there and enjoy the Ozarks!

#124-Triple Falls
Near Jasper, Arkansas next to Camp Orr Campground near the banks of the Buffalo River you can find this beautiful waterfall called “Twin Falls” by some (the sign at Camp Orr officially names it Twin) due to the waterfall being fed by two water sources. Not only is this fall fed by a wet weather creek but also by a spring. During optimal wet-season this waterfall has three beautiful streams of water pouring over. Over the years most have began to only refer to the fall as “Triple” because of this, and also to distinguish it from other “Twin” waterfalls around the Ozarks. Generally considered an easy route, it takes an average of 6 min to complete. This is a very popular area for hiking and walking, so you'll likely encounter other people while exploring. The trail is open year-round and is beautiful to visit anytime. You can see this and many other beautiful parts of the Ozarks at www.417art.com get out there and enjoy the Ozarks!

I made it up to Jefferson City recently and was able to capture the Missouri State Capitol in all its glory in early spring! The colors were amazing and the well manicured grounds around the capital are worth a stop. The Missouri Governor’s Mansion is right next door to the capital and the walk around this area is great.
