Wikipedia notes: Three separate tripoints due to meanders of the river. See also Kentucky Bend.

HPC Forum: #62.3 KY-MO-TN East
This tripoint is of particular interest since it occurs at three separate locations as a result of a geographical accident caused by the Kentucky south boundary location. A 10 square mile section of Kentucky is isolated from the rest of the state.
