If you're looking for outdoor activities involving water,search no farther than the area around Ocoee Mist.
Of course, when anyone thinks of the Ocoee River, they remember the 1996 Olympic whitewater venue on the river above Lake Ocoee. You can experience the same course used by Olympic athletes during Spring and Summer operations. Find out more by clicking here.

Since the TVA began releasing water down the sections of the Ocoee River above Lake Ocoee, many rafting vendors have sprung up along Hiway 64 approaching Lake Ocoee. Check out the links to some of these groups on the left side of this page.

For many years Lake Ocoee was a barren lake as a result of the sulphuric runoff from the Copperhill area so few thought of this area when planning fishing trips. However, a world-class fly-fishing area on the Hiwassee River is only a few minutes from Ocoee Mist. See "Fly-fishing on the Hiwassee."
