Eleven Point River - Missouri Ozarks - Day 1

[@kipper122670]

Love the solitude of the Eleven point river. Thanks for taking us along.

[@SouthernPaddler]

Thanks so much Kip! The Eleven Point- and the Missouri Ozarks in general- simply do not disappoint!! I've got my sights set on the Meramec next!! Can't wait to get back to Missouri!!! :)

[@PaddlingProfessor]

Love this video, Dan! Beautiful Water - peaceful trip - great footage. Thank you for sharing this experience!

[@SouthernPaddler]

Thanks so much, Matt! The springs keep this water clear and cold! It's a fantastic trip, for sure!!

[@MinuteontheMountain]

That water looked really clear. What a pretty stretch of river. Thanks for taking us along.

[@SouthernPaddler]

Thanks, John! This river is largely spring fed and it makes for beautiful water for sure! Thanks again, brother!!

[@dewey4president]

Gorgeous River, Dan! Great video, thanks for sharing. I'll have to add this River to my list! 🛶🛶🛶

[@SouthernPaddler]

Hey Dewey- thanks so much! This one is a dandy, for sure!!

[@robjones8733]

Woah Dan, it's pretty! Grabbing some screenshots for future reference. This looks like a wonderful float. 🙂

[@SouthernPaddler]

Hey Rob- Bro, the Missouri Ozarks are amazing!! There are more rivers there that I can't wait to explore!! As always, thanks my friend!! 2 more vids on this series coming!! :)

Awesome Sir. 😀👍✝️. I love Missouri. Cool camp cooking shots.

[@SouthernPaddler]

Thanks, Rodney!! I fall more in love with Missouri every trip!!!! Between Grant and you, I definitely need to up my camp cooking skills...LOL!!!!

[@ValeryanPrime]

Beautiful Place, great adventure. I just took my family out on Cotaco today after watching your videos and discovering a awesome place in my own back yard.

[@SouthernPaddler]

Thank you very much! So glad you enjoyed Cotaco Creek- it's definitely one of my favorites! I was there just last Sunday afternoon! I love that place!! :)

Hey Dan! Enjoying your videos, love the filming and graphics, too! Put us down for membership level when you get there, you’re bound to reach the required subs for sure! Happy Paddling!

[@SouthernPaddler]

Thank you so much, Anj - I really appreciate that!! I just enjoy making these videos and if you enjoy them too then you're my kind of people!! :) Happy Paddling!! :)

Another awesome camping video. Eleven Point is on my list to do along with the Current and Jacks Fork which all 3 from the videos I have seen (including yours) are beautiful. I wish we had some beautiful water and scenery down in LA (Lower Alabama) 😀. I hope mother nature will be kind and give me some good weather in December to paddle the Current River. Cant wait for the other videos of this trip and I have to agree Grant and his group can make some awesome lookng camp food. Take care Dan.

[@SouthernPaddler]

Hey Jito- thanks so much! I said the same thing about North Ala water, too...lol!! Yes, Grant and crew know how to eat on the water!! I hope your Current River trip goes well. I had a buddy message me last week say he and others were doing it this weekend! It's such a fantastic river, as is the Jacks Fork!! Thanks again, Jito, and let me know how your trip goes!!

[@donaldpresley4536]

Glad to see you do this river! It’s a nice one!

[@SouthernPaddler]

I had hear a lot of folks talk about this river and it did not disappoint! We had such a great time!! Thank you!!

[@theradpaddler]

Cool section! Can’t wait to see the rest of the trip!

[@SouthernPaddler]

Thanks so much, Sam! This was a really great river! I still prefer hammock camping, but it was good to keep my tent game in practice...lol!!

[@LIVE4THEADVENTURE]

Now that’s a beautiful River you are on! I’m surprised how much water is in it. Enjoy your trip!!

[@SouthernPaddler]

Thank you very much! It is a beautiful river!! I think all the springs feeding it keep it floatable most of the time! I sure enjoyed it!! Thanks again!!

[@MyCornerOnline]

Nice!! I love my Missouri!

[@SouthernPaddler]

Thank you...and I do too, now!! I've been 5 times in the last two years!! The Missouri Ozarks are FANTASTIC!! Those spring fed rivers just blow my mind!! :)

[@WVWes]

Looks like a fun trip!!! That Ozark media guy is making us gopro guys look bad! He gets some great footage!!! Also, I found me an old canoe that I've been paddling on my past couple trips. I like it!!!

[@SouthernPaddler]

Ha, ha- yes, Grant makes a lot of people look bad in the video department (especially me)...LOL!! But while he has a knack for recording & editing, he's still just a good ol' river rat like me and you, Wes!! Dude, about to watch your canoe video- that so AWESOME!!! :)

[@rootwad]

Eleven Point is an absolute gem. I really wanted to get out there this weekend but it wasn't in the cards. Great video, see you on the water!

[@SouthernPaddler]

I had heard so many great things about the Eleven Point after paddling the Current and Jacks Fork! It did not disappoint! Such a beautiful river and area in Southern Missouri!! I hope to add some new-to-me rivers there next year!! :) Thank you and see you on the water!!!

[@laceycason5285]

Love your videos ❤🎉

[@SouthernPaddler]

Thank you, Lacey!! Hate I missed the Sipsey Race (and when y'all came to the Wheeler Refuge)!! We definitely need to get a paddle together soon!! :)

[@RiverKingsKayak]

love it! I have wanted to do that one.

[@SouthernPaddler]

Thanks, Pete!! It was a little low, but still a fantastic trip!! 👍💯🛶

[@DaveCollierCamping]

[@mackjenkins7721]

WOW that awesome man You want kayak camping 🏕 trip with Grant & his family man . I watch Grant channel too man . I really like what he do & he has a really good channel too . Man that would have been an awesome trip if I could have been there with you two . I have a buddy of mine who lives in the Ozarks area & i have been trying to get out there to do some kayak camping 🏕 trip out there . I can't wait to see part 2 . Man . Dan question how long was your drive there for you ? Thanks you for sharing this video buddy it was good to watch .

[@SouthernPaddler]

Thanks so much, Mack! It was about a 6 hour drive for me (if driven straight through). If you get a chance to paddle in Southern Missouri I don't think you'll be disappointed! Thanks again, Mack!!

[@scottbashaw923]

Glad you had a great trip! Hidden gem. Come back again sometime. FYI next time please camp in the campground instead of day use area. Could earn a ticket from that.

[@SouthernPaddler]

Thanks, Scott- yes, it is a great area for sure! And yes, camping in the day use was not the right thing to do- my apologies!! :(

[@donaldpresley4536]

You should’ve checked out Greer spring. Well worth the short hike.

[@SouthernPaddler]

My buddy Grant forgot it was upstream from the camp spot. We had originally planned to start at Cane Bluff, but he felt the water was too low and so we started at Greer. Hate we missed the spring, but we enjoyed camping there!!

[@donaldpresley4536]

@@SouthernPaddlerI don’t think you can really see it from the river. No way to paddle up to it. You have to hike to it. I have a video of it at the beginning of one of our trips.
