Russell Fork: The Heart of Appalachia

The Russell Fork River located on the boarder of Virginia and Kentucky is fantastic. It releases water every weekend in October. The rapids are good class IV-V fun rapids with powerful holes and continuous nature. The Russell Fork is a great run and good alternative when nothing is running.

The camping at the Russell Fork is super sweet!
