}}Breaks is a small unincorporated community in Dickenson County, Virginia, United States.[1] Breaks is located very close to the Kentucky border and is east of Breaks Interstate Park. Breaks gets its name in reference to the "break" in Pine Mountain, a mountain range that spans along the Kentucky-Virginia border and ends near the community of Breaks.[2]

It was in Breaks that U.S. Senator George Allen called S. R. Sidarth, a volunteer for the Jim Webb campaign and an Indian American, a macaca. This started a controversy that gained national attention.

Attractions

  • Breaks Interstate Park
  • Russell Fork River, a popular whitewater rafting stream
