Knob Lick, MO

Knob Lick is a tiny, peaceful community in St. Francois County, located just south of Farmington along Highway 67. Its unusual name comes from a local hill where deer once gathered at natural salt licks, reflecting the area's deep rural roots. Today, residents enjoy quiet country living surrounded by scenic Ozark hills, with quick access to the nearby Knob Lick Towersite for hiking through granite glades and catching sweeping views from an old fire lookout.
