Fall Creek Falls State Park, situated on the western
edge of the Cumberland Plateau, contains over 19,000 acres of rugged beauty.
Within the park are both first class recreational facilities and untraversed,
pristine nature. Two naturalists are on duty year round at Fall Creek Falls
to provide orientation slide shows of the park, nature rambles, cave trips,
and tours of the park. Fifty miles of trails, including 25 miles of backpacking
trails and 20 miles of biking trails, lead the visitor away from the roads
and into the heart of the wilderness at Fall Creek. |

Rock Island State Park, the scenic beauty of this wooded park is dominated by the Great Falls of the Caney Fork River - an imposing limestone gorge (called a gulf in southern culture). It provides scenic overlooks, waterfalls and deep pools for fishing, rock-hopping and exploring. Located at the confluence of the Collins and Caney Fork Rivers, this 883-acre park has a natural sand beach on Center Hill Resevoir. Historic features of the park include a 19th century textile mill and one of Tennessee's early hydroelectric plants.
The park has four hiking trails with the gorge area below the dam being the most popular.
