Bourbeuse River Mill Rock Access



This low-water crossing of the Bourbeuse River in Franklin County Missouri is a special spot. Mill Rock juts upstream toward the concrete crossing, standing like a sentinel. Cool shade, fishing holes to wade and other delights await. Bivouac the top of the rock on a clear night and the stars will transform you.

I haven't been to Mill Rock in years. Is it still a popular swimming hole?

The area is still used as a swimming hole, although every time I've been there the water was churned up and smelly from cattle upstream. This of course also brings out the deer and horse flies.
