 Historically,
the Hiwassee River has been called many names,
starting with the Cherokee Indians, who were the
original inhabitants of the area, who relied on
the river for several vital necessitates. Over
the years, many towns developed along the
Hiwassee River including Murphy North Carolina,
Andrews North Carolina, and Reliance Tennessee.
Today these towns are small hubs for outdoor
lovers and those seeking the peace and quiet
that only the North Georgia Mountains can
provide. Learn more about the popular activities
of Hiwassee River Rafting and Hiwassee River
Tubing along the Hiwassee River.
If you are looking to beat the heat and have
some fun for the day, there is no better way to
spend the day than a good rafting run along the
Hiwassee River. Surrounded by the Cherokee
National Forest, rafters delight in the calm
waters of this river and many people choose to
canoe here. Much of the 5.5 mile long river
contains only Class I and II rapids, making it
the perfect North Georgia Whitewater Rafting
adventure spot for families with small children
and those that are new to whitewater rafting.
Those looking to canoe will especially like the
Hiwassee River Canoe Trail which flows through
Reliance TN and through one of the most
beautiful regions in the area. Scenic Reliance

countryside dotted by large farmhouses and
beautiful older homes. Search for Hawassee River
Reliance Tennessee Real Estate and let me help

Georgia and Tennessee mountains.
Ocoee River Rafting
The Ocoee River flows northwestwardly through
the Appalachian Mountains. This fast flowing
river is called the Toccoa where it flows in
Georgia; however its name changes to the Ocoee
where it reaches the beautiful valley lands of
McCaysville, Georgia and Copperhill Tennessee.
Flowing up through Tennessee the Ocoee River
becomes stronger and is known for its phenomenal
whitewater rafting waters. In fact, the Ocoee
River hosted the slalom events during the
Centennial 1996 Summer Olympics that were held
in and around Atlanta.
In Tennessee the river becomes a primary
tributary of the Hiwassee River which it meets
up with in Polk County Tennessee just near the
small town of Benton TN. Here the Ocoee's flow
is controlled by the Tennessee Valley Authority
via three dams. The dams are numbered with #1
located the farthest location downstream and #3
located upstream. All total these dams generate
67,000 kilowatts of hydroelectric power; however
they are most known for creating the fast
flowing middle section of the river where some
20 named rapids are located. During the 8 month
Ocoee River Whitewater Rafting season, rafters
and kayakers from all over the country visit the
river to take on large rapids such as "Hell's
Hole" and "Powerhouse".
