5. Foster Falls
Many visitors hike the two-mile moderate Climbers Loop Trail into the gorge. The trail leads you across a suspension bridge to a location where you can admire the view at the base of the falls. Tread carefully over the steep rocky terrain that might be strenuous for some hikers. Serious hiking boots are recommended. Bring a bathing suit if the timing is right to enjoy the swimming hole in the gorge.
6. Twin Falls
Twin Falls in Rock Island State Park is an accidental beauty that appears like a broad wall of water leaking out of the limestone cliffs along Caney Fork River. The «accident» emerged when the Great Falls Dam was constructed to produce hydroelectric power in 1925. Excess water from this engineered project naturally diverted to a wide swath of the escarpment, where it shoots 80 feet to the river below.
