Trip details

Access rules, camping and seasonal notes.

Permits, camping and season
PermitsNone notedNo route-specific paddling permit is known. Follow Mark Twain National Forest access rules, day-use restrictions, no-glass/no-polystyrene river rules, campground rules at Greer, and posted parking signs.
CampingDay tripTreat this as a day trip unless you have a separate legal camping plan. Greer Crossing has campground facilities, while Turner Mill South is mainly a day-use launch with limited campsite context and designated float camps have separate rules.
SeasonMar-NovGreer Spring more than doubles the river volume just upstream of this reach, so the Greer-to-Turner section is more dependable than the warmer upper Eleven Point. The Forest Service still warns that the river can rise rapidly after rain.

Access and shuttle

Launch at Greer Crossing and take out at Turner Mill South for a short spring-fed Eleven Point run through Mary Decker Shoal and the Blue Ribbon Trout Area. Use the Bardley gauge as a conservative low-water check, then make a visual call at the launch.

Take-out

Turner Mill South River Access
DirectionsOpen map

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.

Road shuttle

Use a two-car or local outfitter shuttle between Greer Crossing and Turner Mill South. Roads to Turner Mill are rural Forest Service roads, so inspect the landing, parking, and turnaround before committing.

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
  • Turner Mill South is a rustic river-right landing with limited day use, five dispersed campsites, one concrete launch, and no potable water. Stage water, parking, and the vehicle turnaround before launch, and do not count on services or a quick road exit downstream.
  • Use the named Greer Crossing put-in and Turner Mill South take-out. Do not confuse Turner Mill South with Turner Mill North on river left or cross private scenic-easement banks between them; the Forest Service warns that the river can rise rapidly and that motorized and non-motorized users share the corridor.

  • Route characterGreer Spring, Mary Decker Shoal, day-use split take-out

    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.

  • Primary safety reviewRustic right-bank landing, changing flow, and endpoint distinction

    The Forest Service documents Turner Mill South as a rustic right-bank access 4.9 miles below Greer with limited day use, five campsites, a single-lane launch, no potable water, and rapid-rise warnings. Its river-use notes distinguish the south landing from Turner Mill North and identify the shared 25 hp motorized corridor.
