Rock Island

We stayed here in November so it was pretty quiet. Friendly guests in the rv section. Nice wooded sites but pretty close to others. Lots of stairs getting to the fire pit or tables which was not great so use caution at night. All the hikes were pretty easy and at several views were amazing. Blue hole was a fun hike down but our favorite was old mill gorge. So much fun at the bottom and the waterfalls were amazing. Highly recommend.

Rock Island is one of my favorite localish spots to visit. Since it's only an hour away my wife and I have made multiple day trips to explore the area. Twin Falls is very scenic on it's own, however you can also hike up the gorge finding a multitude of waterfalls along the way. The top parking lot has a nice little waterfall along the stairs down into the gorge then you can hike along the river. When the ground is wet water streams down from the cliff overhangs, showering the path along the river leading to a piles of rocks and more waterfalls. It's very scenic and the hike shouldn't be difficult for anyone even halfway in shape.

I wish I could give it a 5, here are the reasons why it's not. First, we stayed in one of the pet friendly cabins. First thing we do is black light the places we stay. Yuck! The only thing that was clean, was the shower areas. Toilets, walls (esp bath and bed rooms), carpet, blankets, all gross. We pay a $20 fee, per pet, per night, shouldn't that money be used to clean better? Maybe spot carpet cleaning after each pet reservation! There was urine stains in each room. Better cleaning would bring you to a 4*. Second, the Great Falls trail was unmarked at a split. We went to the left. It was on the more difficult side. View was not great. We learned later we should've went to the right. Better marking on that trail would give you a 5*. Lastly, the ladies in the office were not friendly at all. They were not helpful on giving any useful info on the park. Having a friendly staff would be nice. With that being said, the best hike was the Blue Hole. It was beautiful and difficult at times. I did this one myself at 8 am. Nobody else was out yet. Peaceful and beautiful. 2 nights is not enough to stay here. There are more trails we wanted to hike, but ran out of time. This area is gorgeous. Even with the problems we had, we will most likely return once more to finish the other hikes.

This place is absolutely beautiful! The waterfall is one of the largest I've seen in Tennessee. The trail is pretty accessible with a few moderate patches. We spent 4 hours exploring and missed so much. We will definitely be back!

This is a beautiful park with excellent kayaking, but with a little challenge depending on water levels; sometimes there are rapids, and sometimes they are covered. The water level changes because this feeds the Center Hill Dam. Which makes it more fun, because no two trips will be alike!
