Fly the Big South Fork River Gorge

Recently television station WBIR out of Knoxville, Tennessee produced a 30 minute video on the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area. As a part of the video Famfive Productions flew through a section of the Big South Fork River gorge from the O&W bridge south along the river for a distance of 2 to 3 miles to the mouth of Pine Creek.

Come fly the gorge and look up at the rim.

The following link will show you another, rarely seen, side to Yahoo Falls.
