FS Falls is a 10-foot waterfall in Monroe County, Tennessee, in the Blue Ridge region. It lies about 15.4 miles southeast of Madisonville and roughly 45.4 miles south of Knoxville as the crow flies.
At 10 feet it is on the modest side for Tennessee, where the typical waterfall with a recorded height stands around 30 feet; it ranks 279th of 332. By form it is a fan, spreading out horizontally as it falls and staying in contact with the rock.
The Blue Ridge is the highest part of the southern Appalachians, a range of forested peaks and coves with oak, hickory, tulip poplar and hemlock and spruce-fir on the summits, in one of the wettest climates in the East. Steep mountain streams drop over granite, gneiss and quartzite ledges, giving the region hundreds of waterfalls.
