Hike the rugged trails of Rock Island State Park and view the majestic Twin Falls with your dog.

Rock Island is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts and their four-legged companions, centered around the magnificent Rock Island State Park. While there are no traditional fenced dog parks here, the area offers something even better for active dogs: miles of rugged, scenic hiking trails. Leashed dogs are welcome on all trails, including the popular Collins River Nature Trail and the Moonshine Trail, allowing you to explore the dramatic gorge and view the stunning Twin Falls together. The park's diverse terrain, from sandy beaches along the Caney Fork River to rocky overlooks, provides varied sensory experiences for your pet.

Safety is paramount near the water due to swift currents from the dam releases, so keeping your dog leashed and aware is crucial. However, the hiking opportunities are world-class and provide a fantastic workout for high-energy breeds. For a true nature adventure, Rock Island provides an unforgettable backdrop of cascading waterfalls, lush forests, and limestone bluffs. It is a destination where the bond between dog and owner is strengthened through shared exploration of Tennessee's wild beauty.
