Kentucky, a river of Kentucky, is formed by two forks which rise in the Cumberland Mountains, and, after a winding north-west course of about 250 miles, enters the Ohio, 12 miles above Madison, Indiana. The river runs through part of its course between perpendicular limestone walls. It is navigable by steamboats to beyond Frankfort.
