Outdoor Adventures

Take a hike to an incredibly gorgeous waterfall and feel like you're a million miles away.

For the thrill seekers whitewater rafting, ziplining, tubing the Toccoa River, or accomplishing a challenging obstacle course can all be experienced at Ocoee Rafting in conjunction with Zipline Canopy Tours and Blue Ridge Adventure Park.

Rent a pontoon boat from Blue Ridge Boat Rentals and enjoy a leisurely day on the crystal clear turquoise waters of Lake Blue Ridge. With over 100 miles of mostly undisturbed national forest shoreline, the beauty of this lake is unsurpassed. Pack a picnic and pull off into the many coves and inlets and share some quiet togetherness on the water.
