This place is beautiful. Nature at its best due to the springs. A tight fit to see the springs but definitely worth a trek in smaller groups

Great place to hike along the Eleven Point River. Boat ramp, camping, picnic area. Less populated than other local trails and rivers. 40 minutes away.

A really great hike with a big reward at the end! This Spring is beautiful and the wilderness setting will melt stress away. This is a moderately difficult hike. The way back is mostly uphill. We have taken our kids and they did fine. You will need to watch the little ones close to the spring. The current is strong. This is about a 20 mile drive from the Corner Cottage.

A popular day hike for Forest visitors. Greer Spring is the second largest spring in Missouri. Its average daily flow of 222 million gallons more than doubles the size of the Eleven Point National Scenic River into which it flows. The spring flows from two outlets about 250 feet apart at the bottom of a steep, shaded ravine at the terminus of the trail. The spring run drops 62 feet in elevation for 1.25 miles where it runs into the Eleven Point National Scenic River. The mill and surrounding land is privately owned and not available for public use. Access to Greer Spring is via a 0.9 mile trail that descends about 250 feet in elevation along a gentle gradient from the trailhead at Missouri Highway 19. The trail to the spring travels through a mixture of hardwoods and pines. The overstory of trees, includes a variety of oaks, shortleaf pine, hickory, maples, basswood, and black gum. Hikers will also see flowering dogwoods, sassafras, persimmon, hazelnut, cedar, and hackberry. The spring flows from the mouth of Greer Spring Cave and boils up from the rugged bed of the spring branch. Flowing down a rock filled canyon for one mile, the spring branch enters the Eleven Point River. There is no fishing, boating, floating or wading allowed in the spring branch.
