Downtown Glens Fork is a lonely place without activities at the unique country store, "Hardscratch General Store," which was severely damaged in August when a single-vehicle wreck happened right on their doorstep. 20-year-old Alex James Tidwell lost control of his vehicle and it flipped on its side. Authorities say slick road conditions from rainfall likely caused the wreck. The owners are Tim and Sherry Kelly. Comments | Permalink

History and preservation offered at Wolf Creek

Wolf Creek National Fish Hatchery, completed in 1975, was established to mitigate for habitat changes that resulted from the construction of many federal dams throughout the Southeast. Native populations of warm water fishes such as bluegill, smallmouth bass, and catfish, used to thrive in these streams. After construction of the dams, the habitat was changed to a cold water fishery. The Russell County hatchery raises over 1,000,000 brook trout, brown trout, cutthroat trout, and rainbow trout each year, which thrive in cold water. Comments | Permalink
