Big South Fork National River flows through a protected river in a deep scenic gorge with sandstone bluffs. The put-in begins at TN 297 bridge. Large rocks protrude along the shoreline and the banks are lined with sycamore and river birch trees. You will encounter some small rapids. Angel Falls is located 1.9 miles and is a mandatory portage on river right. Below the falls the river narrows into a boulder field creating some whitewater rapids. Take-out is at Station Camp Road.
