Morgan Spring Float Camp is on the right, just past the spring branch inlet
from Morgan Spring. This camp is 7.7 miles downriver of Riverton. Footpaths
lead from the float camp to Morgan and Blue Springs.

There are three campsites available on a first come basis at this primitive
site. The vault toilet is located just up the trail from the campsites.

From this float camp the next take out is at Hwy 142 Access.

Old Thomasson Mill Spring was the original name for this beautiful spring back
in the days when a small grist mill by that name stood nearby. The area
contains unique geographic landforms and associated deep blue, mineral rich
springs that add 140 million gallons of brisk 58° water to the Eleven Point
River daily.   The site has a colorful history.  Thomasson water mill operated
along the Morgan Spring branch until the early 1900's and B.B. Morgan operated
an aquaculture business that provided millions of aquarium plants all around
the world.

All of this beauty could have been at the bottom of a lake if the Army Corps.
had not met such fiery opposition from Morgan and others who wanted to
preserve the Eleven Point River for posterity. The Eleven Point River was
protected by the National Wild and Scenic Rivers Act of 1968, and the Narrows
property entered into Forest Service ownership in 1972.

The Mark Twain National Forest manages this site to protect natural features,
preserve historical aspects, and provide for a enjoyable user experience.

drawdown.

Mark Twain National Forest will conduct assessments and needed repairs on
control structures when the water is lowered. Invasive aquatic plants will
also be removed, improving fish habitat.

No long-term closures at these sites are planned at this time; but some
temporary closures may occur during times when heavy equipment is in
operation. If heavy equipment is operating, stay a safe distance away and
follow closure signage for your safety.
