Wall To Wall Waterfall1634 viewsThe falls at Rock Island, TN are just that, wall to wall.

Due to the leakage from up river through the limestone and back into the lower river there is literally about a mile of waterfalls.

Swimming Hole1633 viewsSince there is a dirty, rough "camp" nearby I assume this is a swimming hole. A pretty place that most people don't see.

On High1633 viewsDon't let the description of 50 ft fool you. From this point it is abut 150 ft to the river level below but, the trail down in excellent.

With a little exploring and milling around plan on a four mile hike.
