Access caveats and watch for
Access caveats
- Greer Crossing and Turner Mill South are official Forest Service river accesses with published coordinates, but road, parking, campground, and day-use rules can change.
- Turner Mill South is the larger river-right landing below Greer. Do not confuse it with Turner Mill North on river left or cross private land between the two accesses.
- 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.
Watch for
- Mary Decker Shoal and shallow bouldery spots, especially when the Bardley gauge is near the 300 cfs floor.
- Cold spring-fed water, rapid rises after rain, fresh wood, blind bends, and remote-feeling gaps between accesses.
- Motorized users are allowed on this part of the National Wild and Scenic River under the 25 hp limit.

The Forest Service says Greer Spring more than doubles the river volume, Greer to Turner passes Mary Decker Shoal, and Turner Mill South is the developed river-right landing rather than the smaller day-use north-side access.
