re: Whitewater rafting. The Ocoee or Chatooga?

I've done both... It's been about 15 or 16 years, but from what I remember, the Ocoee was a hell of a trip and the Chattooga was a little more laid back... There's a section in the Ocoee that was the Olympic Course. It was a rough son of a bitch and the water was extremely cold on Spring Break. The Chattooga had a few big rapids, but there seemed to be more of a break between them.

Both are beautiful and worth the trip.
