River Description

This class II section contains one class III rapid. It provides another alternative to the demanding Russell Fork Gorge section that is directly upstream. Intermediate paddlers may wish to run this two mile section in combination with the three mile class III (IV) Upper Russell Fork to gain more river miles. Running both of the intermediate sections will require exiting the Upper Russel Fork at Garden Hole Road and then shuttling by vehicle to the KY park put-in for this reach (which is the takeout for the 3.8 mile Russel Fork Gorge).
