The Red Bird River is one of two tributaries at the head of the South Fork of the Kentucky River, the other being the Goose Creek.[1]
It is located in the Daniel Boone National Forest in extreme southeastern portion of the U.S. state of Kentucky.[2] It is 34.3 miles (55.2km)[3] long and drains an area of 195.7 square miles (507km2).[4]
Red Bird was the name of a Native American who was murdered near the river.[5]
Course
It rises as Red Bird Creek in northeastern Bell County, then becomes the Red Bird River at the confluence of the Phillips Fork just south of Queendale in Clay County. Continuing north, it forms the boundary between Clay and Leslie counties, eventually coming to a confluence with Goose Creek at Oneida to form the South Fork of the Kentucky River.
At its mouth, the Red Bird River's mean annual discharge is 336.62 cubic feet per second (9.532m3/s).[6]
