4600 acres. A 5-mile gorge, plunging to 1650 feet, in this "Grand Canyon of the South."
Bountiful nature, as richly colored as our mosses underfoot, our mountains on the horizon, and our sky overhead.
Rivers to raft, heights to scale, camping, birding and porches to be sat on…while smiles form lazily upon contented faces.
Expect this and more at Breaks Interstate Park, up in the mountains of Virginia and Kentucky, where uncommon history, heritage and heart offer a welcome that never wears out.
One of only two Interstate Parks in the United States, Breaks Interstate Park is a one of a kind adventure destination. Appropriately called the Grand Canyon of the South, hundreds of thousands of visitors make their way to the park each year to enjoy its natural beauty and excitement. Some of the best and most challenging paddling east of the Mississippi river is found on the Russell Fork river. The river carved through the mountains to form the Breaks approximately 250 million years ago. There are miles of trails to accommodate all types of users, as well a a 12 acre lake for fishing and flat water enjoyment. Visitors can stay in the lodge, one of the cottages, a new luxury cabin, or rough it at one of the many camp sites. No matter what level or type of adventure you are looking for, it can be found at Breaks Interstate Park.
