Visit the Twin Falls at Rock Island State Park

This scenic and tranquil setting nestled along the Caney Fork River is a wonder of nature.  Rock Island State Park is one of my favorite places to visit in Middle Tennessee.  This state park offers a campground, picnic areas, hiking trails and waterfalls.  There's  few trails in Rock Island:  the area by the Great Falls, the Downstream Trail  and  the Upstream Trail with view of the Twin Falls which is what we did.  Although the upstream trail is an easy walk from the observation area the stream is rocky so you have to be careful getting in.

Planet Earth has countless jaw-dropping landscapes, but of all its stunning scenery, waterfalls are the most impressive.

The Downstream Trails at Rock Island State Park

If you like waterfalls this is a nice place to stop off we were on our way  home from Nashville. We decided to stop over in Rock Island State Park and do some short hike.  We took the steps down to the falls area and have to say they are moderate, treacherous in both directions - wear proper hiking shoes, its rocky and some part is muddy.  Unfortunately we were on the wrong side of the Twin Giant Falls our GPS is not being helpful either. Instead we are leading to one of the few small waterfalls in the area.  This is our first time in Rock Island and we will go back soon to see the famous Twin Falls.
