Pound River at Bartlick Bridge
These three day releases are popular with locals and visitors alike as the
level of the river is raised enhancing rafting and kayaking conditions. As a
result the sometimes Class V+ river has become internationally known to
the whitewater community.
Beginning and intermediate paddlers can enjoy portions of the river and
develop their skills.
Anglers have the opportunity to pursue channel and flathead catfish,
rainbow trout, and smallmouth bass. If you're in the area from out of
town and you'd like to try your luck against some of the area's toughest
game fish, we'll find you a local angler who can get you to
the fish and show you what they're biting.

The headwaters of the Russell Fork, a tributary into
the Big Sandy River, get their humble beginnings in
Southwest Virginia. Starting as just as small trickle
of a stream developing into a raging force, the Russell
Fork continues to roar through the mountains on its
journey into the Big Sandy, the Ohio River and
onward to the Mississippi River. The Russell Fork
carved it's way through the mountainous region many
years ago forming the Breaks Gorge, known as the
"Grand Canyon of the South." Throughout the
month of October, water is released as the Corps of
Engineers draws down John W. Flannagan Reservoir
from it's summer to winter pool.
