Warning!! Water level is going to rise.

Beautiful. Thank you for keeping the natural sounds and not overshadowing it with obnoxious music or yelling and voices.

They knew Post 10 had just cleared a big clogged drain.

Glad the rafts showed up to give some scale. What I thought were 1-foot-high weeds turned out to be trees.

Amazing how quickly that riverbed went from a fun place to hop on rocks and get your feet wet, to a raging river. Thank you for posting!

can't wait for part 2: Warning!! Water level is going back down.

This is the 1996 Olympic Course that only gets water flow 17 - 34 days a year. The course was modified for the 1994 World Championship , Olympics Team Trial's, and the Olympics but different World Championships have been held there since 1977. The lower Ocoee river is the most common run for both commercial and private kayaking and rafting trips. When I was a kid there in the late 60's and 70's we called this area the " Blue Hole " and the only water there was from rain runoffs and natural springs. The water was clear and cold and many locals used it as a swimming hole where you swam in pools and through natural hole's in boulders. If you ever go to that area the " Blue Hole " can be found just above stream of the Olympic Whitewater Center. Park there and it's just 150 steps north of the bridge. Thanks for posting

Dam water is released. Youtube after 7 Years:-| "Its time to recommend this"

I’ve learned not to even question my recommended any more

I totally misjudged the scale of this river. The rocks are actually boulders and he weeds are really saplings. LOL

“Warning the water level is about to rise, exit the river bed immediately” Fish:👁👄👁

We had the pleasure of riding this river many years ago. Four agin’ geography teachers on vacation from Oxfordshire, England travelling from Atlanta to Memphis and then south following The Mississippi to New Orleans. What a morning! 15 years later still remember it as if it was yesterday. Such a thrill.

This was really cool to see. As a small child I always thought it was lucky to see the beginning of a water stream, this brought back that feeling of good luck. Followed by very peaceful sounds and relaxation. Thank you!💕

Thanks for keeping the camera steady, and not swinging it around like a fire hose. No zoom in and out, too.

The river is divided into 2 parts for rafters/kayakers. The Upper river and the Lower river. You can do just one of them or make a day out of it and do both. I've been rafting the full river several times and it's never a disappointment. The water is always cold and will take your breath when you first hop/fall in it!!!

WOW!! Amazing and thanks for sharing.

Simply beautiful 💖💖 the sound of the water 💦 is so peaceful and relaxing. Thanks for sharing

Wow, you don't realize how big that river is until people show up on rafts.

Imagine living on the banks and hearing the beautiful sound of water flowing every day .... Paradise!💕

Wow supper video...beautiful water flowing...

I know exactly where this is. My husband and I used to camp and hike along the Ocoee. Fun times,!
