Visiting This One Place In Tennessee Is Like Experiencing A Dream
Are thoughts of Zimbabwe’s Victoria Falls running through your mind right now? Because Tennessee has its own gorgeous waterfall, all caught up inside Rock Island State Park – Twin Falls. From autumn to spring, across summer and winter this is a gorgeous spot for you to grab your camera and get snappin’. Plus? You can totally capitalize on the scenery for your next Christmas card. As long as you can get those kids to smile, this is totally in the bag.
Twin Falls is located within Rock Island state park, making it roughly an hour and forty-five minutes from Nashville. It's also two hours from Knoxville!
The falls themselves were man-made - accidentally. They rushed into being once the Caney Fork River was dammed in 1925. Which makes our favorite waterfall almost one hundred years old.
Looking to take some shots with that expensive camera of yours? There's a one lane bridge that stretches across the dam, making way for your trek to the viewing area.
The waterfall comes out of the side of the cliff face - close to two thirds of the way up the cliff wall, as opposed to over the top like most waterfalls we know.
There are over half a dozen waterfalls within forty-five minutes of the park, making this area of Tennessee - shall we say it? - drenched.
If you aren’t packing up your car just yet, you’ve got something wrong with you. With a view like that, how can you stay away?!
