Eleven Point

A beautiful fall day on the Elevent Point River. We camped at Greer the night before launching and then paddled the full stretch from Greer down to Riverton.

At Greer Campground, preparing to load canoes and canoe/camp on the Eleven Point National Scenic River. This is Britt's first canoe trip. He is excited. Of course Britt is excited about everything. We decided on day 2 of float he was better off without his lifejacket. He went swimming in a swift shoal, and survived just fine with the help of Ben, his rescuer !

Beautiful Greer Spring - The 'boil'. Greer, 2nd largest in Mo, provides 2/3 of the flow of the 11 Point, and ice cold water, giving this river natural trout stream....no dams
The 11 Point has several 'float camps' accessible only by canoe. This one is at the Greer Access.
Fun class II, one of the best on the river
The classic American summer float stream, perfect for canoe/camping
Greer Spring, Missouri's 2nd largest, fed by this stream from the cave, then immediately below, most of the water comes from the boil - see pic..
Greer Spring Access @ Hwy 19, next bridge crossing is 19 M downstream, on the National Scenic river
The guidebooks tell us how scarce the gravel bars are....persistence will usually find you the perfect spot like this...

Brian running Riverton, unlike his brother and stepbrother, he knows enough to wear his lifejacket.
