The river is a popular stream for canoeing and kayaking. The name "Caney Fork" comes from the dense cane breaks that grew along the river's banks when European explorers first arrived in the area. [8] The river is a major drainage feature of the Cumberland Plateau and the largest tributary of the Cumberland River.
Great Falls Dam is located approximately 94 miles (151 km) above the mouth of the Caney Fork, immediately downstream from the Caney Fork's confluence with the Collins River. The confluence of these two rivers (the Collins flowing from the southwest and the Caney Fork from the east) creates a peninsula.

The river winds its way northward through a section of the Highland Rim known as "the Barrens," and steadies as it enters the eastern section of McMinnville. The river almost joins the Caney Fork at a point just opposite the Great Falls Dam power plant, but instead bends southward to create the peninsula where the present park is located.
