The Ocoee Whitewater Center is located on the Ocoee Scenic Byway (US 64) between Cleveland and Ducktown, Tennessee. Coming from any direction, your trip is filled with splendid views of mountains, lakes and the Ocoee River.Consisting of a four-acre recreation area, the Ocoee Whitewater Center offers picnicking, hiking, biking, birding, water play, environmental education programs and provides the playground for whitewater rafting and kayaking on the Upper Ocoee River.
This spectacular venue was built by the Cherokee National Forest as the site for the 1996 Olympic Whitewater Slalom competition. Anchored at both ends by the impressive commemorative Olympic bridges, the site features exciting views of whitewater rafting on the Upper Ocoee River, along with paved paths for walking and biking, great sunning spots, and hiking and biking trails.
The modern yet rustic stone building features a nature-based gift shop called O's on the River, and provides restrooms and an information desk. The venue also features walkways, Native Gardens, paved river walks and picnic areas which are all wheelchair accessible.
