The Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area features more than 150 miles of hiking trails and 180 miles of blazed horse trails. Miners and foresters stripped much of the land during the early 1900s, but lush vegetation now covers the land. The park's dramatic cliffs, arches and rockshelters once hid illegal moonshine stills. The Big South Fork of the Cumberland River is the park's main artery, with a variety of rapids for kayakers, canoers and rafters. Rapids on the river are Class I through Class IV. Fishing is plentiful throughout the park, especially for bass. Developed camping is available at both the Bandy Creek Campground and Blue Heron Campground. Reservations may be made for both campgrounds. Backcountry camping is allowed throughout the park, but permits are required. Hiking terrain varies and trails range from one mile to more than 50 miles in length. A scenic railway crosses coal bridges, tunnels into mountains and passes historic mining towns and rushing rivers taking passengers to the old mining town of Blue Heron. Mountain bikers can choose between dedicated mountain biking trails and horse trails. There are several concession-based horseback riding facilities and the park has two five-star horse camps.
