About Rock Island:
Rock Island State Park is a very unique park with numerous rock formations and swimming holes, and is located one and a half hours east of Nashville. 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 Reservoir. 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.
Sunday Day Hike
The day hike has been canceled. However there are several shorter hikes within the park that you can enjoy.
Reservations:
This trip is open to MEMBERS ONLY for $15 and opens to the public three weeks prior to the event (June 5th) if space is available for $25.
Rules & Regulations
The same price applies regardless if you stay 1 night or 2. No refunds after two weeks prior to the trip date.
You are encouraged to bring your canoes/kayaks and even motorized boats.
There is a boat launch for Center Hill Lake accessible within the park.
You will be responsible for your own equipment, food, transportation,
firewood, etc. Children and friendly, socialized dogs are welcome. Park rules dictate that dogs be kept on a leash AT ALL TIMES, but are
welcome in all areas of the park, including swimming areas. Please be
aware, if you are not being a responsible pet owner and/or your animal
is being a nuisance Team Green reserves the right, at any time, to ask you to take your animal home.
What time is the group leaving? Does this type of event typically trend toward a family event or do different people usually attend as well.
What time does the event officially start? What if you come in late on Friday because of work? Does it matter if you have to arrive late?
Marshall and Kelly,
Participants will be arriving anytime on both Friday and Saturday. There is no price difference if you choose to camp one night instead of two, however. Your trip leader, Stephanie, will get there in the mid to late afternoon. This trip is for single individuals and families alike. I hope the both of you are able to make it!
