Flowing 97 miles from the Cumberland Plateau to the Kentucky River, the Red River winds through eastern Kentucky’s rugged landscapes and forms the Red River Gorge. Its 1,400-square-mile watershed has deep ravines, sandstone cliffs, and hemlock forests, creating a haven for outdoor recreation. A 19-mile designated Wild and Scenic River segment offers opportunities for paddling, from thrilling rapids in the upper gorge to calm stretches downstream. Anglers will find trout and bass in its cool, clear waters, while hikers and bikers can explore riverside trails, waterfalls, and natural arches. The Red River is both a lifeline for biodiversity and a gateway to unforgettable backcountry adventure.
