Ocoee River

A thrill a minute Class III-IV rapids make the Ocoee one of the best whitewater rivers in the south. With two distinct sections available for rafting/canoe/kayaking, you can spend anywhere from 3 hours to all day on the river. The Ocoee was home of the 1996 Olympic canoe and kayak slalom events and that venue can be visited at the Ocoee Whitewater Center. Outfitters provide rafting services on both the upper and lower sections.  For a list of Outfitter and Guides on the Ocoee River, please click HERE [http://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/cherokee/?cid=STELPRDB5276624].
