Welcome

 “Ocoee River Area is my favorite area in Tennessee, You can whitewater raft, kayak, hike, camp, [and] bike.” Flowing northwestward through the Appalachian Mountains, the river can be easily accessed from Chattanooga or Knoxville. Many people choose to take advantage of the rafting, but the area can also be explored by driving the Ocoee Scenic Byway. Or ride the "old train" located in Etowah.

 Of all the river cities in the South, Chattanooga is one of the best. “You have to visit Rock City and Ruby Falls if you’re in the area, and the art museum is great,” says Dabney, referring to the Hunter Museum of American Art in the Bluff View Art District. In between outdoor activities and cultural sights, you’ll want to fill up with fried chicken and tamales at Champy’s and wash them down with cocktails at The Rosecomb. 

Less than 1 hour away to the north on I75.  Knoxville has a great, revitalized downtown with great restaurants.   Knoxville is also building a new AA Minor League baseball park downtown.    Go Vols?    University of Tennessee Knoxville has great sports programs and numerous concerts.

Less than 2 hours away to the north on I75 or via Highway 411.  Pigeon Forge and Dollywood great for the entire family.  Gatlinburg is great "year around" as they have great shops, restaurants, and mountain top fun.   The Great Smokey Mountains is unbelievable to visit, hike, camp, fish, or just enjoy the scenery.
