Our hike was at Rock Island, where water pours out of the rocky cliffs creating many spectacular waterfalls and cascades! We began our hike at the Blue Hole trailhead, descended stairs and rocks from the rim of the bluff, down through waterfalls to the rocky shore of Cane Fork creek. Climbing back to the rim was challenging, trying to figure out where the trail was in the streams of water rocks. Next, we hiked through the forest gorge on Eagle trail, followed by a very pleasant woodland walk on the Collins River trail where we lunched. After a brief stop to see the springhouse and cotton mill building, we drove over the river and through the woods to hike the Downstream and Upstream trails along Caney Fork creek and view the amazing Twin Falls. By then we were tired and hot. Next time, we will start at the Upstream trail and play in the refreshing water! We hiked 7.5 miles with an elevation gain of 1217 feet.
