The Wolfe County Search and Rescue Team serves the county and general vicinity of the  Red River Gorge under a charter from the Commonwealth of Kentucky & direction of the Wolfe County Judge Executive. Since its inception in 2007, the Team has distinguished itself  responding successfully to numerous wilderness accidents and lost person incidents.  As Wolfe County sits in the middle of some of the most beautiful gorges in the United States, resplendent in waterfalls, caves, and high cliffs, this area attracts visitors from all over the world – who are exposed to the dangers of the rugged terrain. WCSART – comprised of all volunteer citizens – is dedicated to providing specialized search and rescue services both to our local citizens and visitors. Besides being skilled in search operations, the team is proficient in high angle rope rescue of the kind needed for the many cliff accidents that occur within the Red River Gorge.
