If any of y'all ever need an idea for an off-the-beaten-path long weekend, you should strongly consider a trip to Jackson Kayak's original home base in Rock Island, Tennessee. It's a waterfall, whitewater, and fishing wonderland about an hour and a half north of Chattanooga. (Jackson started off in Rock Island back in the day, tough they're now a half hour up the road in Sparta, TN.) Here's one of the owners of Jackson giving his take (mostly via photos) on the area:

If you don't want to click through, just take my camera's word for it:



For a sense of scale, look for the red-shirted dude in the left side of the picture.

Awesome, awesome place.
