Tennessee is a beautiful place to visit any time of the year, but the end of summer is one of our favorites. It’s when you can truly relax and enjoy the southern sunshine. When it’s warm and sometimes hot, but the evenings smell of autumn. We went exploring this summer at the Ocoee River, and one of the neatest spots in Tennessee — if we do say so ourselves.
Care to look?
Alison Groves - Flickr The Ocoee River is a favorite amongst Tennesseans, a beautiful place to go whitewater rafting and tanning during the summertime. Whether you’re looking to hike or simply enjoy the rush of the wilderness, this is truly a beautiful place to do it.
The real question is…
James St. John - Flickr …have you been to the Blue Hole?
Joe King - Flickr Located on the Upper Ocoee River, Blue Hole is where you can find a solid handful of underwater tunnels and swimming holes that dip ten to twelve feet deep in the ground. Locals like to go swimming or rock jumping into the clear, beautiful mountain water, and the kids fall in love with the adventure of swimming through underwater tunnels made of rock lying just beneath the water.
This picture here? Well, that’s how you may know the Ocoee River.
Brent Moore - Flickr A placid, beautiful place for pictures and swimming. Maybe you remember it as a place rife with rapids, or a fun summer camping vista. But take a look at the videos below to see just what we’re talking about with the Ocoee’s Blue Hole tunnels. It’s a neat place to visit, and one you don’t want to miss.

Aaaand we definitely want to see that again…
Pretty neat, right?
