Camper has heart attack and dies after being bitten at Current River.
My mom had a snake come up inside her inner tube when she was tubing there once.

It wasn't a copperhead, but we had a 5-6 ft. snake swim under our canoe on the Current River.  It kept me out of the water!!

Went to George Washington Carver Nat Monument and my kid sees a snake on the walking path so naturally he picks it up and shows it off. Yes it was just a black speckeled king snake thing but I wanted to ralph. Snakes do not bother him but boy they sure do me!
