While in Yankeetown, we went to Rainbow Springs State Park for a couple of hours.

It's a nice little park where the headwaters of the Rainbow River start. "Rainbow" must refer to the color of the water in the river. Stunning. The park use to be an amusement park with a small zoo, gardens and rides. The water falls in the park are from the old amusement park and are man made. The water for the falls comes from the river.

Of all days, Chris forgot the camera. UGH So take a look at the photos on the above link and the State Park page. You might have to enlarge some of the pictures to see the color of the river. If you are in the area, this Park is worth a half a day of your time.
