whitewater rafting

Ever wonder how the Ocoee River whitewater rafting got its start?

Here is a brief history on the commercializing of Ocoee Rafting.

The Ocoee River was once owned by Eastern Tennessee Power Company. During 1910 to 1913, the Ocoee Dam #1 and Ocoee Dam #2 were constructed along with the wooden floom line to divert the river water to the power house to feed the hydro-electrical turbines and started generating power.

In 1939, Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) purchased the Ocoee River and the power system. When the floom line needed repair in 1976, river water ran through the river bed again and Ocoee River whitewater rafting got its start. The first Ocoee whitewater rafting on the river was in military surplus rafts and the call of the river quickly made Ocoee rafting a favored sport. Soon after, Ocoee rafting outfitters began negotiating river water usage terms with TVA and this has continued till today.

The Ocoee area now sees more than 250,000 Ocoee whitewater rafting visitors per year. People know a good thing when they Raft One it.
