Permits, camping and season
Access and shuttle
Launch at Greer Crossing and take out at Riverton East for a long lower Eleven Point day that the Forest Service also frames as an excellent easy overnighter. Use the Bardley gauge as a conservative low-water check and keep extra margin for distance, weather, and cold water.
Access map
Put-in
Greer Crossing river accessGreer Crossing and Riverton East are official Forest Service river accesses with published coordinates, but road, parking, campground, and day-use rules can change.
Take-out
Riverton East River Access / Highway 160Riverton East is the river-left take-out just above Highway 160; Riverton West is a separate day-use area on river right and is not the default finish for this route.
Road shuttle
Use a two-car or local outfitter shuttle between Greer Crossing and Riverton East at Highway 160. Inspect the take-out before launching because this is a long route and the Riverton corridor has separate east-bank and west-bank day-use landings around the bridge.
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 Forest Service warns that the Eleven Point can rise rapidly and identifies Mary Decker Shoal, Halls Bay, changing channels, and shared motorized/non-motorized use. Check the Bardley gauge and weather before launching, keep room to scout, and do not assume the 300 cfs floor is a high-water clearance.
- Use the named Forest Service Greer Crossing and Riverton East accesses. Riverton East is a day-use take-out with a canoe launch; do not substitute Riverton West, private scenic-easement banks, or an informal gravel bar for the planned finish.

NotesPublished evidence and verification notes
These notes cover the access details, route quirks, and source caveats most likely to matter once you get there.
- Official route shapeGreer to Riverton, about 19 miles
The Forest Service Greer Crossing page lists Greer to Riverton as a 19-mile float and says it is an excellent two-day trip that can often be completed on one long day.
- 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-outRiverton East River Access
The Forest Service lists Riverton East as open and 7.6 miles downriver of Whitten, with a paved road, concrete boat ramp, canoe launch, vault toilet, and coordinates 36.649183, -91.199614.
- Gauge check during route review · 2026-07-11USGS 07071500 at 503 cfs / 2.64 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 Greer-to-Turner, Turner-to-Whitten, and Whitten-to-Riverton rows support keeping that same conservative floor for this longer combined route. The app does not infer an ideal range or upper cutoff.
- Route characterLong cold-water float with shoals and Halls Bay
Forest Service pages say Greer to Turner passes Mary Decker Shoal, Turner Mill downstream stays in cold White Ribbon Trout Area water, and the Whitten-to-Riverton section adds Halls Bay plus more shoals, motorized users, and long-distance exposure.
- Primary safety reviewLong commitment, changing flow, and named take-out
The Forest Service identifies Greer to Riverton as a 19-mile float, warns that the river can rise rapidly, describes Mary Decker Shoal and Halls Bay channel choices, and documents Riverton East as a developed day-use canoe take-out. Existing route and trip evidence also carries fresh-wood, cold-water, and private-bank cautions.
