Breaks Interstate Park is located on the eastern edge of the Cumberland Mountain Plateau. The park is administered jointly by Kentucky and Virgina. The Russell Fork of the Big Sandy River has cut a 'break,' a 1,600-foot-deep gorge through Pine Mountain known as the Grand Canyon of the South. A paved road leads from the entrance to the canyon rim. Self-guiding maps of 13 nature and hiking trails and the park are available.
