Straddling the border of Tennessee and Kentucky, Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area offers rugged gorges, scenic rivers, and one of the highest concentrations of natural bridges in the Eastern United States. Visitors can hike, paddle, or ride through sandstone bluffs and forested trails while exploring remnants of former logging and mining communities like Blue Heron and No Business. The area’s rich natural and cultural history is preserved through interpretive signage, and adventurous travelers can even stay at the remote, trail-accessible Charit Creek Lodge.
