Permits, camping and season
Access and shuttle
Launch at Greer Crossing and take out at Highway 142 / The Narrows for a long lower Eleven Point continuation to the last scenic-river access. Use the Bardley gauge as a conservative low-water check and keep extra margin for distance, weather, and take-out discipline.
Access map
Put-in
Greer Crossing river accessGreer Crossing and Highway 142 are official Forest Service river accesses with published coordinates, but road, parking, campground, and site rules can change after storms.
Take-out
Highway 142 River Access / The NarrowsHighway 142 / The Narrows is the last access on the southern end of the Eleven Point National Scenic River Area. Missing it pushes the trip toward Arkansas and materially changes the route plan.
Road shuttle
Use a two-car or local outfitter shuttle between Greer Crossing and Highway 142. The Narrows is the last Forest Service access in the scenic-river corridor, so inspect the finish before launching and do not plan on drifting past it without a separate downstream plan.
Additional access notes
- The Eleven Point corridor includes private lands under scenic easement. Do not assume banks away from public accesses, designated float camps, or legal gravel-bar stops are public.
More route and safety guidance
- The run includes Mary Decker Shoal, fresh wood after rain, blind bends, Halls Bay, and the widening lower valley below Riverton before the last scenic-river access.
- Treat this as an overnight-capable continuation rather than a casual day. Highway 142 / The Narrows is the last scenic-river access above Arkansas, so missing it materially changes the route.

- Official route shapeGreer to Highway 142, about 27.7 miles
The Forest Service Greer Crossing page lists Greer to Riverton as a 19-mile float, and the Highway 142 page says The Narrows is 8.7 miles downriver of Riverton, supporting a combined Greer-to-Highway-142 continuation of about 27.7 miles.
- Public put-inGreer Crossing Recreation Area
The Forest Service confirms Greer Crossing as an open campground and boat-launch area. Its Eleven Point river map publishes the access point at 36.793439, -91.331617; this is an access anchor, not a surveyed ramp edge.
- Public take-outHighway 142 River Access / The Narrows
The current Forest Service Highway 142 page marks the access open and developed, with a single-lane concrete boat ramp, paved parking, vault toilet, day-use rules, and coordinates 36.550194, -91.191532.
- Gauge check during route review · 2026-07-13USGS 07071500 at 473 cfs / 2.58 ft
This reading was saved when we checked the guide. It is not today’s water level. Check the current gauge and local conditions before paddling.
- Low-water floor300 cfs minimum-only
Rivers.MOHERP rates the Bardley gauge Good beginning at 300 cfs, and the exact adjacent lower-Eleven routes support keeping that same conservative floor for this longer combined route. The app does not infer an ideal range or upper cutoff.
- Route characterCold-water continuation to last scenic-river access
Forest Service pages say Greer to Riverton is an excellent easy overnighter and identify Highway 142 / The Narrows as the last access on the southern end of the Eleven Point National Scenic River Area.
