range of natural and historic features, including canyons as much
as 600 feet deep.
The Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area covers over 100,000 acres. The gorge area is maintained in primitive condition, while the adjacent rim area has established recreational facilities, including hiking and riding trails, and camping facilities. The rivers are popular for canoeing, kayaking and rafting. The river gorges contain several rare and endangered plant and animal species.
