Established in 1968 as a 44-mile scenic river, free of impoundments with a largely undeveloped shoreline and watershed. The Eleven Point River meanders through the picturesque Ozark hills. Barely more than a small stream at its start, it gets wider and deeper and it travels South-East. Springs pouring from bluffs or rushing up from a vast number of underground spots provide continuous water and beauty. Stretches of rapids and deep clear pools wind around moss covered boulders and shading bottomland hardwood trees.

GRAND GULF STATE PARK
https://mostateparks.com/park/grand-gulf-state-park
Some people call Grand Gulf State Park the “Little Grand Canyon.” Some just call it “breathtaking.” The park is one of the natural wonders of the Ozarks, presenting the most spectacular collapsed cave system in the Ozarks. The "Grand Gulf" stretches for about three-quarters of a mile between 130-foot-high walls. Visitors can view the gulf from trails on top or from the floor where they can walk under the natural bridge, which spans 250 feet with a 75-foot-high opening. There is no official trail leading to the bottom, so visitors should use extreme caution when attempting to access the bottom. Interpretive signs detail the formation of the gulf.
