'''Roubidoux Spring''' is a second magnitude freshwater [[Spring (hydrology)|spring]] located within the city limits of [[Waynesville, Missouri|Waynesville]] in the Missouri [[Ozarks]]. The spring discharges from the base of a rock ledge that has been capped by a large concrete wall, built to hold the road that passes over the spring. Spring water flows a very short distance before adding its waters to the [[Roubidoux Creek]]. A city park with trails and a board walk has been developed around the spring. This spring is noted as having an average discharge of 58.3 [[cubic foot per second|ft³/s]].<ref name="table9">Vineyard, J.D., and Feder, G.L., 1982, Springs of Missouri: Missouri Geological Survey and Water Resources, Water Resources Report 29, p. 94</ref> However, due to very limited discharge data, an accurate description of the flow of this particular spring may be difficult to find. This could be a first magnitude spring – over 100 [[cubic foot per second|ft³/s]]. According to some lists, this ranks as the 15th largest spring in the state<ref>[[List of Ozark springs]]</ref>{{Circular reference|date=March 2019}}. The area near this spring has very intense [[karst topography]], many caves, springs and large sink holes are present within a few miles of this spring.
