"NEW" UPPER AND MIDDLE OCOEE
RIVER COMBINATION
You can now raft the 1996 Olympic Course on the Ocoee River! The Legacy of the 1996 Olympic Games to the Ocoee Region is a 5-mile stretch of powerful rapids upstream from the traditional put-in for the Middle Ocoee River.

If you have rafted the Middle Ocoee, you will find that the Upper Ocoee provides a much different and more diverse paddling experience. From the put-in you will float downstream through a sublime wilderness setting with scenic mountain vistas and easy warm-up rapids.  As you acclimatize to the challenges of whitewater, the anticipation begins to build for larger rapids lurking downstream. An angry roar from up ahead soon draws your attention from the scenery as you approach the first big drop, a maelstrom named "Mikey" for its appetite (for it will eat anything.) Paddle hard, for those who survive the giant pour-over at "Mikey" immediately find themselves battling the continuous waves and large (unavoidable) hydraulics of the "Blue Hole" rapid.

Just downstream you will run the most distinctive rapids in the Eastern U.S. on the 1800-feet long Olympic course that continues to challenge the world's best paddlers.  35 million dollars were spent prior to the '96 games to engineer this steep stretch of riverbed into a veritable whitewater heaven, where named drops like "Smiley Face" and "Humongous" simply blend together into one unforgettable roller coaster ride. Haven't had enough yet? The Upper Ocoee River

saves the best for last, traveling downstream from the Olympic Course you will be tested by "Hungry Mother," the largest rapid on the entire river. If "Mickey" didn't eat you already, be very wary around her mother. After your exciting run on the Upper Ocoee, you will probably have worked up a bit of an appetite? At this point, we take a brake at our Middle Ocoee transition point for a delicious riverside lunch. Suitably refreshed you then continue your adventure onto the famous Middle Ocoee.
