On May 10th, my fiance, Kenzie, and I, paddled 38 miles down the Jacks Fork River from Buck Hollow to its confluence with the Current River at Junction Ferry. Throughout our journey we explored many natural springs, caves, and dolomite bluffs. We also witnessed countless quantities (well kenzie actually did try to count them) of wildlife ranging from Bald Eagles to River Otters and hundreds of Turtles. I was truly amazed by how stunning this landscape/river was and cannot believe how few people know about its existence. This video represents my best attempts to encapsulate the serenity we experienced whilst paddling downriver.

*Note: Two Rivers is the name of the campground at the confluence of the Current River and Jacks Fork. Not Junction Ferry as I mentioned incorrectly in the video.
