Rock Island,

Some of the most beatiful "set" of waterfalls I've seen. There are 4-5
falls side-by-side giving the effect of one massive falls. These are not
easy to get to and you have to drive along a very narrow gravel road to
gain access to these falls, but it is well worth your time. I camped at
Fall Creek Falls and drove the 25 miles over to Rock Island.

The scenic beauty of this wooded park is dominated by the Great Falls
of the Caney Fork River - an imposing limestone gorge. The Collins
and Caney Fork River are dammed for power generation. The layered
rock that forms the reservoir has leaks between the rock layers. The
cracks are large enough to allow a tremendous amount of water to
come through creating a magnificent waterfall. At the bottom, a large
wave forms from the water flow that kayakers call one of the best
"surfing" waves in the country (a dangerous Class 4 rapid).
