Early Spring Float On The Eleven Point River

 

The wild and wonderful Eleven Point River flows through the forested hills of the Mark Twain National Forest in the southern part of the Missouri Ozarks. Yet another Ozarks Stream fed by Spring Waters.

It was the first week of Spring. 

Jubilation on the river! 

Spring Peepers peeping...

American Toads bleating in a distinctive vibrato

Boze Mill Spring, deep and icy cold

Boze Mill Spring's Outlet

flowing out to the river

American Toads, Leopard Frogs, Spring Peepers

 calling under 

a Big Dipper Sky

Sweet Dreams Calling...

My cousin and his son made this trip and shared the sounds and images that I'm happy to share with you...

Thanks Jay and Larry

Back in 1968, Congress designated 44 miles of the Eleven Point as part of the “National Wild and Scenic River System.”  It truly is a national treasure that abounds with great beauty, wildlife and adventure.
