Rock Island State Park
Rock Island State Park / My TN State Park Fundraiser 2026
'For the past 3 years we have gotten a cabin and met friends from near Nashville for a weekend in December. We are looking forward to getting together here for many years.'
Now's your chance to show your love for Rock Island State Park. During the My TN State Parks Fundraiser in April, every donation is a vote for Rock Island State Park as your favorite Tennessee State Park, and an investment in its future.
With each vote, you're helping fund meaningful improvements such as constructing hiking trails and bridges, conserving habitats for wildlife, upgrading playgrounds, installing interpretive signage, and enhancing care for our raptor friends.
When you give, you help make these projects possible, creating a better and more enjoyable experience for everyone who visits our state parks.
About Rock Island State Park
Rock Island State Park is an 883-acre park located on the headwaters of Center Hill Lake at the confluence of the Caney Fork, Collins, and Rocky Rivers. Known for its rugged beauty and impressive waterfalls, the park includes the Caney Fork River Gorge, one of Tennessee's many natural treasures. The gorge is a popular location for hiking and swimming, offering deep-blue pools, scenic trails, and cascades, including Great Falls, a 30-foot waterfall located below the 19th-century cotton textile mill that it powered more than 100 years ago. Visitors can also extend their stay at one of the park's cabins or campsites.
