The Middle Ocoee River is half a day of Tennessee white water rafting fun for individuals, families, and groups. Everyone, including Scouts and camps with teens, love this roller coaster stretch of river where your guide will steer you through an unbroken run of class III and IV rapids like Grumpy’s, Double Trouble and Table Saw. See a little history along the way with the last remaining wooden powerhouse water flume in the country. If you’re looking for a fun experience of blasting through big white water, the Middle Ocoee is the trip for you!

White water rafting on the Upper Ocoee River is more challenging than the Middle Ocoee section due to the big, powerful water of the 1996 Olympic course. While the beginning and ending sections of the trip are quiet enough that you can enjoy the natural beauty of the area, the river narrows through a steep set of rapids at the 1996 Olympic Kayak Slalom Course. Here you’ll drop through enormous rapids like Smileys, Slam Dunk, and the double-drop of Humongous. You’ll have a highly-trained guide in each raft, but boaters who take on the Upper Ocoee should be prepared to participate actively in their Ocoee white water rafting experience. A great trip for the adventurous paddler!

Combine the Upper and Middle Ocoee white water rafting trips for ten miles of action-packed class III-IV white water. This six-hour adventure begins with the big hydraulics and even bigger waves of the Upper Ocoee River and the Olympic Course. After a break at the end of the upper and a quick snack, you’ll hit the Middle Ocoee River for two additional hours of some of the most popular Tennessee white water rafting in the Blue Ridge and Great Smokies region!
