Tag: Rock Island State Park

  • Moss and Water

    Hiking to the base of Great Falls at the Rock Island State Park, located on the Cumberland Plateau in Spencer, Tennessee, it seemed as if I’d entered into a rainforest of moss and water. However, this is a gorge wall along the Caney Fork waterway. Every surface area on site is very slippery, but, with caution, certainly worth the visit!

    You can enjoy my photography on an empty wall in your home or at the office, or to give as a gift to family & friends, when you visit these galleries:


  • Black and White Layers

    Rock and Water

  • Falling Water and Moss

    Like a Rainforest

    Everything is covered in moss, wet and slippery. Hiking at the base of Great Falls – at the Rock Island State Park, on the Cumberland Plateau of Tennessee – I found myself constantly wiping the camera lens to keep it clear and dry.

    Pictured here is a tall cliff located to the side of the most forward waterfall (there are three). You can visit my galleries to discover great print options and other items featuring my photography, here:

  • Small Waterfall

    Rock Island State Park


    As part of the park system, this small waterfall was photographed downstream of Twin Falls, as the morning sun crested gorge walls. Picturesque at 20-feet tall, this would look great on a print in your home – or, to give as a gift.

    Visit my gallery to see more.


  • Great Falls

    Situated along the Caney Fork, Great Falls are a set of three 30-foot tall waterfalls located in the 883-acre Rock Island State Park, on the Cumberland Plateau of Tennessee. At the base, it’s almost like being in a rainforest, with moss everywhere. In order to stay dry, I came from across the river, with some creative rock hopping, though many people in the summer simply wade through waist-deep water to access this beautiful area. Prints available.
