Enjoy Your Summer on the Upper Ocoee!

American Whitewater is very happy with the successful resolution of our 8 year effort to secure 54 annual releases on Tennessee's Upper Ocoee River, home of the 1996 Olympics.  We would like to extend a warm thank you to all of you that helped FREE THE OCOEE!  While there are far too many people to thank (thousands participated!), we would like to send out a special message of appreciation to Congressman Zach Wamp, and the outfitters' representatives Carlo Smith and Larry Mashburn. 

TVA has published the release schedule at:

So enjoy your summer on the Ocoee, Thanks for all your help, and Support AW!
