Why the Eleven Point is different
The Eleven Point is the actual Wild & Scenic River. One of the original eight streams Congress designated in 1968, it runs remote and uncrowded through the Mark Twain National Forest, managed by the U.S. Forest Service. Greer Spring — Missouri's 2nd-largest spring at roughly 222 million gallons a day — doubles the river at its midpoint, turning a small Ozark headwater into cold, clear, reliable float water. (Its sister the Current, despite the name, is not on the Wild & Scenic list.)
- A federally designated Wild & Scenic River since 1968, USFS-managed, with first-come float camps instead of crowds. This is the most wilderness-feeling float of Missouri's well-known rivers.
