Ocoee River
Hey guys,
Daniel and myself just got back from Tennessee. We spent three great days on the Ocoee River. It was my first time boating on the east coast, and it was a lot of fun. We camped with our friends Bret and Mark, along with the Memphis Whitewater club. They are a huge club with many different kinds of paddlers.
The Ocoee is a class III river with a large amount of playspots. It is incredibly crowded compared to even the S. fork American. There are literally hundreds of rafts and tons of kayakers. We saw a lot of old school boats as well as the latest playboats.
The weather was hot, as you can imagine, but not too bad. It cooled off at night which made camping nice. The water was warm and we boated with only our rash guards.
After we played for three days, we stopped by the Jackson Factory on our way back to Nashville. Carman and EJ both gave us a tour of their facility. It was fun seeing how the boats are assembled. Thanks to both of them for taking time out of their day to visit with us.
After a long flight home, we made it back to the 559. It was a really fun trip and I hope to make it out there for Creek Week in February.
Take care
Evan
