Breaks Interstate Park

Breaks Interstate Park, on the Kentucky-Virginia border, features the largest canyon east of the Mississippi-5 miles long, 1,600 feet deep and 250 million years old! Sometimes called the "Grand Canyon of the South," the gorge was carved by the Russell Fork River, a tributary of the Big Sandy. The spectacular beauty of the park is showcased with 12 miles of hiking rails and four scenic overlooks.
