White Water Rafting on the Ocoee River

From late March to early November, Whitewater Rafting on the Olympic Ocoee River is an extremely popular attraction. Our rafting friends have sent roughly 300,000 people down the river each year, and that's alot for a county whose general population is only 16,500 :) The Ocoee is quite a ride...it's class III and IV rapids are suitable only for ages 12 and older. If you have kids under 12 or just feel that the Ocoee is too rough, but still want to have some floating fun, the nearby Toccoa River in McCaysville, Georgia serves as a milder alternative. Also, the Hiwassee River in the north end of Polk County offers sort of an intermediate version of rafting...that is, milder than the Ocoee but not as placid as the Toccoa.

Rafting Companies and their contact information can be found on our Activities page.
