Coonville Creek
Coonville Creek is a small, permanent headwaters stream within the Mississippi River Section of the Ozark Border Natural Division. The creek is fed by numerous seeps, and the streambed is dolomite bedrock with small cascades and cherty gravel bars. Eighteen species of fish are recorded in this stream including the southern redbelly dace, fantail darter and the orangethroat darter. Seeps emerging along the valley create permanent, bog-like meadows or fens. These fens support many rare plants including queen-of-the-prairie and grass pink.
