The Tug-Fork River separates Virginia and West Virginia for a few miles and is the river where Kentucky, West Virginia and Virginia Meet. The Tug Fork River flows north forming the KY/WV border most of its way and flows into the Big Sandy River that makes the rest of the border between WV and KY. The Big Sandy River flows into the Ohio River where Ohio, KY and WV meet.

The Big Sandy, and its tributary the Tug fork, form the WV/KY border. The Big Sandy is a tributary of the Ohio River, which borders WV and KY seperately.
