Alton, Mo. – The U.S. Forest Service announced that the Greer Spring Trailhead has experienced issues due to weather and time. To ensure the safety of visitors, work crews will begin repairs on the restroom facility beginning Monday, June 1.
What Is Happening?
The Greer Springs Trailhead and parking area near Alton will be temporarily closed while crews replace the aging vault-style restroom facility. The existing wooden facility will be removed, and a modern concrete restroom facility will be installed.
While the Greer Mill Trail will remain open during construction, the Greer Spring Trail will be closed. Restroom facilities are available at the nearby Greer Crossing Recreation Area.
Where Is This?
This occurs at the Greer Springs Trailhead parking lot. This is on Mo 19, north of Alton, on the west side of the road.
When Will It Be Closed?
Repairs begin on Monday, June 1, 2026, and should continue for a week, weather permitting.
Although we enjoy our trips to the Greer Spring, it is good to know that the area is being maintained.
For more information about this project or the Greer Spring Trailhead, please contact the Recreation Staff at the Eleven Point Ranger District at (573) 996-2153.
