Ocoee Whitewater Center

Ocoee Whitewater Center

From March to October the Ocoee River comes alive with whitewater enthusiasts from around the world who journey to shoot the world-class rapids in rafts, canoes, and kayaks. Outdoor adventure writer Kim Urquhart calls it "a paddler`s paradise...loved for its size and power, constant flow rate and continuous waves and holes".

The Class III and IV rapids that highlight this river begin just west of Ducktown, TN.

In 2002 nearly 300,000 people made the journey from this site to the take-out more than 5 miles further down the river.
The Toccoa River

The Toccoa River

The Toccoa River is a popular weekend destination for tubing, canoeing, kayaking and trout fishing. The 17-mile Toccoa River Canoe Trail begins at Deep Hole, a Forest Service Campground. The river passes under the swinging bridge and into the Aska Adventure Trails area, where hiking and mountain biking are also popular.

Lake Blue Ridge is formed by the TVA dam, where boating and fishing are favorite activities of visitors. Once the river leaves Lake Blue Ridge, it travels down the valley known as the McCaysville Basin. This area is quite popular among trout fishermen.
