Drinking plenty of water will also help to keep your system hydrated. While drinking water is not the most efficient way to hydrate the skin, itâs still important for the health of your cells. Avoid misting your skin with a hydrating spray during flight.
As the James River flows through one of the gorges in the Blue Ridge Mountains, it drops in the Balcony Falls and again in a 3-mile (5-km) series of rapids (a total drop of 84 feet [26 metres]) above Richmond, where the river has been impounded by the Boshers Dam.
The 688-mile-long (1,107 km) river drains almost 18,000 square miles (47,000 km 2) of southern Kentucky and north-central Tennessee. The river flows generally west from a source in the Appalachian Mountains to its confluence with the Ohio River near Paducah, Kentucky, and the mouth of the Tennessee River. Major tributaries include the Obey, Caney Fork, Stones, and Red rivers. Although the Cumberland River basin is predominantly rural, there are also some large cities on the river, including Nashville and Clarksville, both in Tennessee.
