The Barren River is a 135-mile-long (217 km)[1] river in western Kentucky, United States. It is the largest tributary of the Green River, which drains more of Kentucky than any other river.[citation needed] The Barren River rises in Monroe County and flows into the Green in northeast Warren County. Historically, this waterway was depicted as the “Big Barren River” in early surveys and documents to distinguish it from the Little Barren River.[2]
At Greencastle, KY, the river has a mean annual discharge of 2,501 cubic feet per second.[3]
