Plan Your Visit
It has been two years now since Big South Fork completed development of it’s first General Management Plan and we continue to move forward with the exciting and challenging task of implementing the changes which were outlined in the General Management Plan.
Implementation of the designated trail system as defined in the General Management Plan was a top priority last year, and will continue to be so for this year and for many years to come. We look forward to the well defined and integrated network of trails which will ultimately be realized at Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area (NRRA).
As you enjoy the vast array of trails in Big South Fork NRRA this year, you will continue to notice that we are installing a new system of trail signing and blazing which will clearly define those types of trail use allowed on any of the designated trails within the park. What you will also discover is that we are beginning to install a new system of park bulletin boards not only at trailheads, but at river access points, parking areas and many other locations where park visitors may be stopping or entering Big South Fork NRRA.

About Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area:
The Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area preserves the Big South Fork of the Cumberland River and its tributaries in northeastern Tennessee and southeastern Kentucky. In addition, the former mining community of Blue Heron is preserved and interpreted via signage.
The Big South Fork region contains one of the highest concentrations of natural bridges in the eastern United States and the area is located in parts of Scott, Fentress, Pickett, and Morgan counties in Tennessee, and McCreary County in Kentucky.
The Big South Fork’s most prominent feature is the river gorge cutting through the softer Mississippian age rock beneath the hard Pennsylvanian capstone of the Cumberland Plateau. Water is the most influential agent of geologic change in the Big South Fork region. Over time water action has left many unique and amazing geologic features ranging from the river gorge with its magnificent bluffs to the natural arches and unusual hoodoos.
