Little South Fork | Kentucky Life | KET

Kentucky Life takes you to the crystal clear waters of the Little South Fork of the Cumberland River in Wayne and McCreary counties, part of the Kentucky Wild Rivers Program.
The Wild Rivers Program was established by the Kentucky Wild Rivers Act of 1972, and recognizes portions of nine rivers of exceptional quality and aesthetic character: the Green River, Rockcastle River, Cumberland River, Rock Creek, the Little South Fork and Big South Fork of the Cumberland River, Martin's Fork, Bad Branch, and Red River.
Kentucky has more miles of navigable water than any state other than Alaska, and the Kentucky Division of Water is charged with preserving and protecting them. Each Wild River is actually considered a corridor, so the designation includes all visible land on each side of the river up to a distance of 2000 feet.
Biologists Zack Couch and Zeb Weese describe the animal life and endangered species found among the forests and cliffs by the river.

I grew up there under the Pilot Rock on the lil South Fork River, hiked up to the top of the Pilot, I hane fond memories of squirrel and ginseng hunting and visiting relatives who lived under the Pilot, It is sad and a shame to see the ole folks gone, and the government made it into a modern tourist trap,
