Angel Falls is a stretch of rapids on Big South Fork in Scott County, Tennessee, in the Southwestern Appalachians region. It lies about 7.7 miles west of Oneida and roughly 55 miles northwest of Knoxville as the crow flies.
The Southwestern Appalachians are the Cumberland Plateau and its escarpments, a sandstone tableland covered in oak and mixed mesophytic forest and cut by deep gorges. Creeks pour off the plateau rim over sandstone caprock into gorges, creating many tall, dramatic falls.
