The Ocoee Whitewater Center in Tennessee was the canoe slalom venue for the 1996 Summer Olympics held in Atlanta. It is the only in-river course to be used for Olympic slalom competition. A 1,640 foot stretch of the Upper Ocoee River was narrowed by two-thirds to create the drops and eddies needed for a slalom course. Today, the course is watered only on summer weekends, for use by guided rafts. When the river has water, 24 commercial rafting companies take more than 750 raft passengers through the course each day. |

On the date that the two RV Gypsies were here, they had the area to themselves. The building on site was closed due to the Pandemic. |

The two RV Gypsies really hope the birds can read so they enter the correct bird house. |
