In terms of water sports? Or importance to region? Or trade/commercial applications?

If its purely commercial based the only answer is the Mississippi but i definitely wouldnt go wake boarding on the Mississippi.

The Cumberland River begins and ends in Kentucky. Headwaters up in the hills above Harlan and mouth at the Ohio River.

GO KATS!

The Red River in Kentucky where it goes through the Gorge is beautiful. The Big Sandy in the breaks and the Palisades of the Kentucky are beautiful.


But the greatest river is the Mississippi.
Runoff from every SEC state but Florida.
