River Description
Barry Joyce shared:
While the Eleven Point would barely rate as a whitewater river, it has enough shoals and fast
water to make this a top summertime and float/camp destination.
The normal float, from Greer to Riverton, 19 miles, usually requires you to camp and that
discourages many of the obnoxious party paddlers. Along the way, there are several maintained
"float camps". Gravel bars are not plentiful, so the early bird gets the worm.
Scenery is clean, clear and never tiring, trout fishing is good, producing big trout, and the
river serves up numerous rocky shoals with nice waves and chutes. Crystal-clear water, coming
mainly from Missouri's 2nd largest spring, Greer Spring, is especially cold for several miles. So
this river is really nice for those 90+ degree Summer days. Find a rope swing ... I'm telling
you, this is a great American float that is not that well known!
Couple of easy class 2's (Mary Decker Chute and Riverton Rapids), numerous other fun shoals.
The hike to Greer is very rewarding, other springs also (Boze Mill), these are lovely
springs. Floating, camping, fishing, hiking, even some caves (See Whites Creek Cave
pic).
