Moss cover steps lead visitors to the Spring Castle in Rock Island State Park near McMinnville, Tn. The structure was built near a spring in the 1800's to provide water to area residents and an old cotton mill, according to park naturalist Gregg Garrison.

From RISP website:
Located at the confluence of the Collins and Caney Fork Rivers, this 883-acre park features Great Falls, a 19th century textile mill and one of Tennessee's early hydroelectric plants.
