The Rough River in Kentucky forms a boundary between Breckinridge and Grayson Counties and is a tributary of the Green River. As early as 1810 the Kentucky Legislature declared that the Rough River was navigable and later approved the first bridge over the river at Hartford in Ohio County. Thus, Hartford became the center of navigation and passage. During 1900 the river peaked in the shipping of timber products.
