Hunt-Copp Mill Dam Ruins (Mill Creek)
On Mill Creek just above Knob Creek, stood a Watermill known first as the Hunt Mill and later as the Hunt-Copp Mill. The timbers of the old mill-dam are still visible. The mill was originally owned and operated operated by Alonzo Hunt who farmed the land around Pilot Knob. It served the Jumbo Community.
I know that this is a common claim people make around the world, but to me the Ozarks of Arkansas truly is God's Country! This site will be dedicated to showing anyone interested--Sunday motorists to fair-weather cyclists--some of the hidden treasures in the county they drive through.
Over the past several years, with the explosion of the popularity of custom car-clubs and motorcycle enthusiasts, Izard county has seen a parade of people from outside the area coming to enjoy the panoramic views from the comfort of their chosen mode of pleasurable transportation. Many, I'm absolutely sure, drive by sights that are easily accesible and not far off the highway never even knowing those sights are there. This blog will give anyone searching for information before they visit the area a way to know where some of those places are.
