It is named for the eleven "points" or meanders in the river's course. The river has a rich history, with evidence of Native American settlements dating back 10,000 years. In the 1800s, the river was used for logging and transportation of goods. Today, it is a popular destination for recreational activities such as fishing, canoeing, kayaking, and camping. The river is also a source of irrigation for agricultural purposes. The river's hydrology is influenced by several dams, including the Thomasville Dam, the Greer Spring Dam, and the Eleven Point National Wild and Scenic River Dam. These dams have helped to regulate the river's flow and provide water for various uses.
