HIKING: Rock Island State Park

← TN SINKING POND AEDC TN Triple Blaze →

Description

The park has nine hiking trails with the Caney Fork Gorge area located below the dam being a very popular area for rock hopping, swimming and fishing. This beautiful limestone gorge runs between the Great Falls Dam and the Twin Falls. The area is populated with Great Blue Herons, wildflowers and waterfalls. The Caney Fork Gorge may be accessed via the Old Mill Trail or the Upstream Trail. *Use extreme 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 TVA's 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.
