Eleven Point River

Eleven Point River

The Eleven Point River is in southern Missouri and northern Arkansas, United States. It originates near Willow Springs, Missouri. It more than doubles in flow when Greer Spring Branch runs into it, adding over 200 million gallons of water per day to the river. The name derives from the Mississippi Valley French word "pointe", which is a wooded point of land marking a river bend. "Voyageurs" marked distance by counting these points of land or river bends. [GNIS|76865|Eleven Point River] The river flows into the Black River near Pocahontas.

In 1968 a 44.4-mile stretch of the Eleven Point was one of the original eight rivers chosen to be part of the United States National Wild and Scenic Rivers System.
