County Road 106-535 is an easy out-and-back gravel (golf ball size and smaller) road leading to Missouri's 6th largest natural spring. Starting at State Highway 106, the trail quickly transitions from the Current River Conservation Area to the Ozark National Scenic Riverways for most of the road. Users will encounter steep grades along the drive as the elevation drop from the beginning of the trail to the parking area is nearly 500 feet. Along the way, cliffs are visible, towering above the road along with dense trees. At the trail's end is a parking area, vault toilets, a picnic area, and a walking path to Blue Spring. A short, easy hike along the Current River ends at the deep blue water coming out from the base of a cliff.

Multiple signs at the trailhead offer information about Blue Spring. Its daily flow is 87-90 million gallons, and its depth is 310 feet, making it the deepest spring in the state.

Camping is not permitted.
