Review:
Constructed to host the canoe slalom event during the 1996 Summer Olympics, the Ocoee Whitewater Center is a stretch of the Upper Ocoee River that was carefully modified to have the drops and rapids needed for a slalom event.
The river is now dry for most of the year, but the area still offers plenty of excellent hiking and biking trails, wheelchair-accessible picnic areas, and walkways through native gardens.
When the river has water, typically between June and September, visitors can also canoe or kayak down the course or take a commercial whitewater rafting tour.
