Hiwassee/Ocoee Scenic River State Park protects two internationally-recognized white water rafting areas near the city of Delano, the first river site managed by Tennessee's State Scenic River program.
Visitors can enjoy amazing year-round recreational opportunities throughout the park, including some of the world's best opportunities for white water rafting on the beautiful Ocoee and Hiwassee Rivers. Class I, II, II, IV, and V rapids sites are showcased throughout the river, which can be tackled independently or as part of guided white water rafting excursions. Floating and canoeing are also popular on both rivers. Anglers can catch largemouth bass, brown and rainbow trout, catfish, and yellow perch on both rivers throughout the year. At Gee Creek, a 47-site campground offers primitive tent sites with picnic tables, fire rings, and barbecue grills, providing convenient access to the nearby Cherokee National Forest.
