About

Hunt Fork to Allen River defines the 40-mile Wild & Scenic corridor of the John River, managed by the National Park Service. This designation protects the river's free-flowing character through remote wilderness terrain. The John flows without developed access or gauging infrastructure, requiring self-sufficient expeditions for those seeking to experience one of the nation's most undeveloped waterways.
