A major Ozark spring in Laughlin Park, Waynesville, feeding Roubidoux Creek with an average flow of 37 million gallons per day. Below the basin lies one of the best-known cave dives in the Midwest, with surveyed line extending over 11,000 ft and depths reaching about 270 ft; the system has not been fully explored. The City of Waynesville manages access: divers must present cavern/cave certification and sign in at the 911 Emergency Center before diving and sign out afterward. No fee is charged.
