Access map
Put-in
Turner Mill South River AccessTurner Mill South and Riverton East are official Forest Service river accesses with published coordinates, but road, parking, and day-use rules can change after storms.
Take-out
Riverton East River Access / Highway 160Riverton East is the preferred river-left finish just above Highway 160; Riverton West is a separate day-use area on river right and is not the default take-out for this route.
Road shuttle
Use a two-car or local outfitter shuttle between Turner Mill South and Riverton East. Inspect the Highway 160 finish before launching because Riverton East is the default river-left take-out and Riverton West is the nearby river-right alternate below 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 route stays in cold spring-fed water with fresh wood risk after rain, shoals, and the Halls Bay channel choice late in the run.
- Use the named Forest Service accesses only. Riverton East is the preferred river-left finish just above Highway 160; do not substitute private banks or informal pull-offs.
