My next stop at Rock Island State Park is to an overlook of the Great Falls. The weather in this part of the country has been a bit strange lately with frequent, but short-lived thunderstorms. Overall, it's been pretty dry and I hope that doesn't impact all of the waterfalls I'll be visiting on this trip. After parking my car, I walk just a short distance to an overlook platform.
Looking out over the Caney Fork River, I see a very unfamiliar landscape. The river, while at a low level currently, flows over a series of large stones. Unlike what I'm used to though, the stones are more like uneven tiles making up the river bed. Waters flow over the low-lying ones and culminate in a large arc of what is probably a wall of waterfalls. With the current water levels, there are only a couple of small waterfalls making the plummet. It's still quite pretty though and the uniqueness of this landscape makes it worth a visit.
