Review & FAQ:
The 883-acre Rock Island State Park is located on a peninsula created by the confluence of Caney Fork River and Collins River and at the headwaters of Center Hill Lake.
The ruggedly beautiful park includes Caney Fork Gorge just below Great Falls Dam. Great Falls is a magnificent 30-foot high horseshoe-shaped cascading waterfall.
Swimming is not allowed from the powerhouse to the main beach boat ramp because of dangerous hidden currents. Caney Fork River Gorge is perfect for hiking, fishing, swimming, kayaking, and just exploring.
There is a whitewater section in the park that attract kayakers from all over the world. The park also has a small natural sand beach as well as boating access on Center Hill Lake.
