The Eleven Point River is often considered one of Missouri’s best-kept secrets for Float Trips. Designated as part of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System, the river offers peaceful floats, incredible fishing, spring-fed water, and fewer crowds than many larger Missouri rivers.
The river is especially popular with kayakers, canoe campers, and floaters looking for a quieter Ozark experience. Along the river you’ll find scenic bluffs, deep green forests, gravel bars, and beautiful springs like Greer Spring, one of the largest springs in Missouri.
Many floaters stay near Alton or Thomasville where campgrounds and cabins provide quick access to popular float sections. Visitors frequently mention the river’s relaxing atmosphere, clean water, and incredible scenery as reasons they return year after year.
