The Middle Ocoee:
America's most popular whitewater rafting river, with more than 200,000 rafters braving the rapids each year. The Middle Ocoee explodes into five miles of almost continuous whitewater, with over 20 Class III and IV rapids. From the Class IV Grumpy Rapid at the start, to the grand finale Hell's Hole, the Ocoee guarantees a memorable whitewater adventure for the beginner and experienced whitewater rafter. Rapids like Broken Nose, Double Suck, Double Trouble, Surprise, Table Saw, Torpedo and Bubba Home Free fill in the spaces between.
The Upper Ocoee:
The site of Atlanta's 1996 Summer Olympics Whitewater events. Do not be confused by the sparcity of named rapids, the olympic section contains several Class IV / Class V rapids and many class III's in rapid succession. This 5 mile stretch of water starts off slow with a 2 mile nature tour of Bush Gardens but once it gets going you'll be in for the ride of your life.
The Hiwassee:
Just 15 miles north of the Ocoee, is a great river to combine with the Ocoee for an outdoor adventure weekend. The Hiwassee is one of the most beautiful rivers in the south, and is designated as a Tennessee State Scenic River. The cool waters of the Hiwassee make it great for trout fishing and a section of the Hiwassee is a trophy trout area. The Class I and II whitewater is great for a family raft float or trying out a funyak.
