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.

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.

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.
