The Eleven Point River is a federally protected Wild and Scenic River flowing through the picturesque Ozark hills of southern Missouri and northern Arkansas. This stunning waterway is known for its emerald green waters, stunning scenery, and excellent fishing opportunities. The river begins as small springs high in the hills, gradually gathering tributaries until it reaches Thomasville, where it enters the Eleven Point National Wild and Scenic River area. For approximately 44 miles, the river meanders through the Mark Twain National Forest and Irish Wilderness, with most of the surrounding land publicly owned and undeveloped. What makes the Eleven Point particularly special is its transformation at Greer Spring (the second largest spring in Missouri and tenth largest freshwater spring in the world), which more than doubles the river's volume and dramatically cools the water, creating distinct fishing environments along its course.
