An 883-acre State Park with great views and a unique location on the confluence of the Collins and Caney Fork rivers.

Lots of waterfalls and overlooks throughout! https://tnstateparks.com/parks/rock-island Pretty easy out and back trail with plenty of views. Be careful with kids or people not used to balancing. The trail can get narrow in spots. Rock hopping on the river can be very fun but gets pretty dangerous. There is more to this trail and other trails not shown on the map link included. Warning! Always use caution in the gorge. Water may rise rapidly. Monitor your surroundings. Leave the gorge immediately if water begins to rise or you hear warning sirens. Watch for slick rocks & swift currents. Do NOT jump into water of unknown depths. Swimming or wading is not allowed in all areas from TVAs powerhouse downstream all the way down to the main beach boat ramp including by the powerhouse, Twin Falls and Blue Hole due to hidden and deadly currents.

February 28, 2021Very easy and rewarding visit. Short hike, but do it!
February 28, 2021A nice, short, trail along a beautiful river! The falls are breath taking. The trail starts with twin falls and there are other falls along the trail.
February 21, 2021Beautiful! Falls are running strong! Muddy abs slippery though so be careful.
February 17, 2021Relatively easy, verrryy rock and parts are wet so be prepared with appropriate footwear. Falls were awesome. Went during winter and it he icicles were amazing! Saw a river otter running down the trail with a fish in it's mouth.
February 15, 2021Easy hike! Perfect before having dinner at Foglight Foodhouse!
February 7, 2021loved this trail! also forgot to turn off recording before driving away. lol
February 6, 2021January 29, 2021Pretty easy walk. A bit trecherous if you decide to get near base of falls on the rocks. Interesting, not sure if falls are natural or the results of the dam. Nice outing.
January 27, 2021Trail was closed.
January 24, 2021Easy hike and we loved exploring the small cave!
January 24, 2021Beautiful!
January 23, 2021love it! very well marked.
January 23, 2021Absolutely beautiful!
January 16, 2021January 16, 2021January 15, 2021Nice little hike, but the eye candy is top notch. If you’re looking for miles, this ain’t it but if you’re good with a smaller hike with lots to see, do not pass this one up. We will do this one again next time we’re in the area.
January 9, 2021Super easy trail and such a pretty waterfall. The waterfall is clearly the main attraction but I had lots of fun exploring along the River bank on my own.
January 3, 2021Beautiful not difficult I would recommend boots just because there’s some low creek crossings. Sitting on a rock and meditating is a great way to heal the soul. Highly recommend
January 2, 2021January 2, 2021This is always a great classic trail. Starts with a bang. View Twin Falls for most of your walk down the trail. Go all the way to the end and take in the view as the sun bounces off the water and the bluff rises above you. Heavily trafficked, well marked, super easy for all skill levels. If you go rock hopping down to get a closer look, don’t get caught in the gorge when the sirens go off. It means water is being released from the dam and the water will rise quickly.
December 30, 2020Trail is a little rocky, but not strenuous at all. Beautiful views. The kayakers playing in the rapids was a bonus!
December 30, 2020when you get there the sign says strenuous but it's not really that hard. beautiful views the entire Trail.
December 29, 2020Easy. Fun. Beautiful.
