Mark Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Campgrounds on the river open? Turner and Greer? I realize the water is still a little high, but can't think of a safer place to stay isolated than on a gravel bar. Guessing the canoe rentals are shut down??Wonder if I can get a shuttle with my canoe?? Is Brian renting cottaqes? Anxious to get back to normal.

Bushbeater Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 I heard Shannon county is not allowing any visitors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted April 11, 2020 Author Share Posted April 11, 2020 I do know all state park campgrounds are closed until April 30th - day use only and restrooms are closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bushbeater Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 For some reason I thought the 11 Point was in Shannon County, but I just looked at a map and it's not. I'd call one of the outfitters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Rapp Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Iron county is the same as Shannon County. Don't know about the other surrounding counties. There are certainly some questionable "laws" being set by low level government entities. If these are enforced is another matter. It will be interesting to see the final court cases if they are enforced. Daryk Campbell Sr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Agnew Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Current and Jacks Fork are closed to gravel bar camping, but I don't know about Eleven Point, since it's administered by the Forest Service and not the Park Service like Current. Not sure what the reasoning is; I can understand closing campgrounds, but why gravel bar camping? Pretty sure Brian is closed down, especially the cottages.

Members fisheye Posted April 12, 2020 Members Share Posted April 12, 2020 I am old, and I might be wrong, but I think the Eleven Point from Greer Springs to Riverton is Nation Scenic Riverways, Park Service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavin Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Why not stay out! There are are only 1-2 ambulances in those counties. Usually figure your screwed if you can’t last until you get back to STL, KC, or Springfield.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishinwrench Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Taking a nap on a gravel bar is not going to get anyone arrested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
