Tug Fork River

The Tug Fork River is a short river in West Virginia and Kentucky, flowing about 61 miles. It’s part of the Ohio River watershed, meaning it eventually feeds into the Ohio River. The river has historically been important for transportation and industry, especially for coal mining regions. It forms part of the boundary between West Virginia and Kentucky and has scenic areas that attract visitors. The Tug Fork also gained notoriety from the famous feud between the Hatfield and McCoy families in the late 1800s, illustrating its historical significance in regional history.
