Make the Most of Your Ocoee River Visit
A whitewater rafting trip is the main attraction, but there’s plenty more to enjoy around the Ocoee. Many guests turn their rafting day into a full weekend adventure—and it’s easy to see why.
Here are some favorite ways to extend your trip.
Experience World-Class Whitewater
Of course, the highlight is rafting with Cherokee Rafting. The Middle Ocoee delivers continuous fun, while the Full Ocoee offers the complete Olympic-section experience for those wanting more mileage and excitement.
Stay Close at Whitewater RV Park
If you’re bringing an RV or planning to camp, Whitewater RV Park makes a convenient home base. Guests love:
-
Easy river access
-
Peaceful mountain setting
-
Room for families and groups
It’s especially popular during summer weekends, so reservations are recommended.
Explore the Cherokee National Forest
Before or after your trip, take time to enjoy the surrounding mountains. The area offers:
-
Scenic drives

Short hiking trails
-
Overlooks perfect for photos
-
Wildlife viewing opportunities
Even a quick drive through the forest adds to the overall Ocoee experience.
Relax and Refuel After Rafting
After a day on the water, most rafters are ready to kick back, grab a meal, and swap stories from the river. The Copper Basin area has several casual spots where rafters traditionally gather after their trip.
