Rock Island State Park is located on US 70S, between Sparta and McMinnville. The scenic beauty of the wooded park is dominated by the Great Falls of the Caney Fork River. 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, the 883-acre park has a natural sand beach on Center Hill Reservoir. Tennessee State Parks offer diverse opportunities for individuals, families, or business and professional groups.
