Full Ocoee
 The
Ocoee River, in southeast Tennessee, is one of America’s
most popular rivers for playboating. The dam-controlled water
is pleasantly warm for the entire 8-month season. Rafting
the entire Ocoee River is a 10-mile fast-paced whitewater
adventure that includes a riverside stop for lunch between
the Upper and
Middle sections. The Ocoee has three
potentially dangerous undercuts, all of which can be
avoided, that pose opportunities for injury. Keep in mind
that undercuts are rare in the southeast.
The Upper section begins quite mildly as rafters are forced
to meander among bushes and trees that clutter the riverbed,
and ends seemingly abruptly as the churning and powerful
water pushes the raft at great speeds. The Middle Ocoee
features a more relaxing ride, while still offering Class
III and IV rapids to keep your heart pumping. The
Lower
Ocoee is used primarily for tubing because the water is much
more mild and relatively free of rapids.
Sunburst Adventures is currently accepting reservations for
whitewater rafting adventures for the full Ocoee River
experience. |
