Permits, camping and season

Launch at Greer Crossing and take out at Whitten for a longer spring-fed Eleven Point run through the Blue and White Ribbon trout water. Use the Bardley gauge as a conservative low-water check, then make a same-day visual call at the launch.
Access map
Put-in
Greer Crossing river accessGreer Crossing and Whitten are official Forest Service river accesses with published coordinates, but road, parking, campground, and site rules can change.
Take-out
Whitten River AccessThis is longer than the split sections and still has limited easy exits. Treat the 11-mile distance, shuttle timing, and weather as part of the go or no-go decision.
Road shuttle
Use a two-car or local outfitter shuttle between Greer Crossing and Whitten. Both approaches use rural Forest Service roads, and the Whitten descent is steep enough that it is worth scouting before launching.
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
- This 11-mile spring-fed day includes Mary Decker Shoal, shallow faster water, cold spring flow, fresh wood, and blind bends. Plan for a full-day shuttle and do not treat Greer-to-Whitten as a flat pool route simply because it is generally easy water.
- Greer Crossing and Whitten are public Forest Service accesses, but road, parking, and site rules can change. The scenic-river corridor includes private lands and designated float camps; do not improvise a private-bank landing or overnight stop if fatigue, weather, or a missed take-out changes the plan.

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 Whitten, about 11 miles
The Forest Service Whitten page says visitors enjoy the 11 mile float from Greer downriver to Whitten, making this a named public one-day route between two official accesses.
- 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-outWhitten River Access
The Forest Service lists Whitten as open on the right bank, with a vault toilet, single-lane concrete boat ramp, parking for vehicles with trailers, and coordinates 36.732356, -91.214837.
- 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 and Turner-to-Whitten rows both support keeping that same conservative floor for this combined route. The app does not infer an ideal range or upper cutoff.
- Route characterGreer Spring, Mary Decker Shoal, trout-water transition
Forest Service pages say Greer to Turner passes Mary Decker Shoal, Greer Spring more than doubles the river volume, and the river from Turner Mill downstream remains cold White Ribbon Trout Area water shared by paddlers, anglers, and motorized users.
