The Russel Fork River gorge forms the Kentucky - Virginia state line in Breaks Interstate Park, near just about nowhere. The gorge is made with high sandstone cliffs that allow scenic views with Fall colors.
From the river, the scenery is just as impressive.
For the paddlers that migrate every Fall to ride the dam release, the gorge has a different reputation.
Rapid names like "Fist" and "El Horrendo" ensure the ride is always "rowdy".
