Ocoee River Whitewater Section
AI-suggested draft · review before you go
The Ocoee River in the Cherokee National Forest offers exciting smallmouth bass fishing in its lower sections, with the river's rocky structure and fast water creating ideal habitat. Below the whitewater sections, anglers find excellent bass and panfish opportunities in calmer pools. The river is also stocked with trout in the upper reaches near the Ocoee Dams.
