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.

April 11, 2021Beautiful waterfall at the start and a smaller one with a cave further down.
April 9, 2021Great hike. Some of the trail was flat and easy. Other parts were a little more difficult. Really pretty. Several falls in one place.
April 4, 2021It was nice. You can see the waterfall immediately and you walk the rest just down a river. Lots of branches and rocks but that’s the point. Waterfall was pretty.
April 4, 2021Easy trail, short, with beautiful scenery. Several falls along the way. Calm, small trails off the main trail to see more if you want!
April 4, 2021Falls are amazing, but you don’t need the hike to see them. Hike down stream covered in poison ivy. Would be good if you’re looking to fish.
April 4, 2021very good trail and beautiful falls
March 30, 2021 The trail was absolutely beautiful. The waterfalls were amazing with all the rain we’ve had lately! 3/30/21

March 21, 2021Awesome view of waterfall.
March 20, 2021March 19, 2021Short, fairly easy hike with a couple hills and one ladder. The terrain is not level for most of the trail. Beautiful views! Watch kids and dogs that may get close to the edge.

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!
