Within the coalfields, straddling the border of Southwestern Virginia and Eastern Kentucky, lies a little-known natural wonder of the Appalachian Mountains. Known as the Grand Canyon of the South, Breaks Interstate Park is home to one of the deepest gorges east of the Mississippi. The Breaks is a geological wonderland. Russell Fork River created the spectacular gorge by gouging out a 1,600-foot canyon into the Appalachian landscape.
Massive bluffs rise in multiple layers above the rapids-happy river that "breaks" through the mountains to form the gorge.
