Ocoee Dam No. 2

Ocoee Dam No. 2 (from Wikipedia) a hydroelectric dam on the Ocoee River in Tennessee. The dam impounds the Ocoee No. 2 Reservoir and is one of three dams on the Toccoa/Ocoee River owned and operated by the Tennessee Valley Authority. It was completed in 1913. The dam utilizes a wooden flume that carries water from the reservoir down the side of the Ocoee Gorge to the dam’s powerhouse 5 miles downstream.

It is considered one of the nation’s top whitewater rafting locations. Companies such as Ocoee River Rafting and Nantahala Outdoor Center and Ocoee Adventure Center offer several different options for whitewater rafting, for all levels of experience.
