I haven't been to Rock Island in a while, but it was a pretty fun trip - besides me almost killing Lee. We jumped for the same rock and I won (sorry Lee!).Anyway, Rock Island is about an hour and 45 minutes from Nashville. Located at the confluence of the Collins and Caney Fork Rivers, this 883-acre park has a natural sand beach on Center Hill Resevoir. Historic features of the park include a 19th century textile mill and one of Tennessee's early hydroelectric plants. There really isn't any structure to this part of the park. There are just several large rocks to climb around on.
If you plan on visiting this park, don't go if it has been raining a lot lately. The water can get up pretty high and then you can't play in it. If you feel like being outside, climbing around on giant rocks, and playing in cold water, this is the place for you!
