On the upstream side of the bridge you'll find a put-in on the east bank. Seven-tenths of a mile below the 62 crossing is an emergency exit on the left at the site of the old bridge for the highway. The fifth stone dam comes into view next, complete with several breaches for lining a canoe through. Within a few miles the Eleven Point enters the Spring River, and four and a half miles later the Spring joins up with the Black River. The Game and Fish Commission maintains a public landing ramp on the right bank of the Black River just below the junction.
Access is provided by a county road from Black Rock, a little over a mile away.
Maps Map of Eleven Point River Seasons Because of its numerous springs, the Eleven Point is a year-round stream. However, when the river is up and charging southward, all but the most experienced canoeists should stay on the bank. Although farmland borders the Eleven Point throughout most of its Arkansas length, the heavy growth along the banks tends to conceal the signs of civilization and to give the floater the sense of being miles from anywhere. Black gum, sycamore, bois d'arc, oak, sweet gum, willow, walnut and river birch are found in this lush growth. Wildflower displays are frequent and a special treat of the Eleven Point.
