Just FYI, there is major construction on the Rock Island trail as you go east towards Chilhowee, Leeton, Windsor, etc. The trail is closed at this point essentially beyond Pleasant Hill. It looks like it is an extensive improvement project that will keep that section of trail closed for a while. I am unsure how far east you would have to go in order to get past the construction.
