Tired of the same old weekend hangouts? It’s time to ditch the concrete and literally touch some grass. But where to go? The perfect destination might be hiding in plain sight, just waiting to be discovered. Enter the Ocoee River, tucked within the breathtaking landscapes of Tennessee.
Whether you’re looking to get wild or unwind, Ocoee offers the ideal spot to do both over the same weekend. Let these five reasons convince you that Ocoee is the perfect getaway destination this fall.
Beautiful Weather, All Year Round
As global temperatures continue to rise, 2024 is on track to become the hottest year ever recorded. But not for the Ocoee. Its natural geography and tree cover protect it from the sweltering heat, allowing for a consistently comfortable climate throughout the year.
With pleasant summers, warm springs, comforting autumns, and mild winters, the Ocoee offers an escape from the extremes throughout the year. So, get ready to beat the summer heat, and keep cool with activities like rafting and swimming.
Breathtaking Views in Every Season
While picking a vacation spot, the eyes feast first, and with the Ocoee, you’re in for a treat every season. The sunlight washes over the Ocoee in summer and spring, bringing out the colors of the vast greenery and blooming flowers. In fall, the landscape ripens as fiery reds, oranges, and yellows take over. Winter is like a typical cozy afternoon throughout the day.
The local flora and fauna complement the natural beauty of the river, creating a scene right out of a Monet.
Filled With Adventures in Every Corner
There is a sense of adventure in the very air and spirit of the Ocoee. The area’s setting is a natural playground with opportunities for hiking, trekking, and especially, whitewater rafting. Having hosted water sports in the 1996 Olympics, it is a historic and popular spot for water adventures throughout the country.
RaftOne offers beginner-friendly Ocoee river rafting tn trips that also cover the Olympic route, plus a zipline. You can imagine the thrill of a bird's-eye view of the treetops and stunning scenery, but the reality of the experience is even better. Oh, and while you are there, you can also take in the beautiful terrains of the Ocoee region by mountain biking and horse riding with these outfitters.
Need a Place to Stay? Easy!
The only thing that could improve the perfect trip is if it lasted longer. With the well-equipped cozy lodges in the area, you don’t have to cut short your experience. RaftOne, for example, offers spacious accommodations for both small and large groups with all the amenities you could need for a comfortable stay within the wilderness of the Ocoee. So you can discover the perfect balance between comfort and thrill.
It is no big news that a single day is not enough to explore all of Ocoee. For a more intimate encounter with nature, I recommend opting for an overnight camping experience. Big Frog’s Outpost campground provides a unique opportunity to fully immerse yourself in the true Ocoee experience, one that will stay with you forever.
Perfect Spot for Relaxation
While the Ocoee River might seem like an adrenaline-fueled hotspot, the Ocoee also caters to those looking to just escape the city and relax. A single breath of nature’s fresh air will show you its real therapeutic benefits, making you wonder how you ever managed without it.
Lounge by the river, take in the views you won’t find elsewhere, or just go off the grid and let nature heal you. A couple of days cozying up in a cabin by the Ocoee will recharge your mind, body, and soul in ways you could never have imagined. Don’t knock it till you try it, and you’ll likely keep coming back for more!
