River in Kentucky, United States From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Barren River[1] is a 135-mile-long (217 km) river in Southcentral Kentucky, United States, and a tributary of the Green River.[2] The watershed of the Green River is the largest of the twelve major river watersheds in Kentucky.[3] The Barren River rises near the Tennessee border in Monroe County and flows into the Green in northeast Warren County. The drainage basin consists of Southcentral Kentucky and north-central Tennessee.
Historically, this waterway was depicted as the “Big Barren River”[1] in early surveys and documents[4][5] to distinguish it from the Little Barren River.[6]
At Greencastle, Kentucky,[7][8] the river has a mean annual discharge of 2,501 cubic feet per second.[9]
