The Ocoee River is now open for paddling/rafting on Saturdays and Sundays through October 29 and on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays during the months of June, July, and August.  Please note! Water release schedules often change without notice due to unanticipated changes in weather conditions and power system requirements. Use caution near dams. A large amount of water may be discharged without warning at any time. Your safety depends on obeying all posted safety regulations and warnings.  Get the most up-to-date information on the individual reservoirs TVA manages, including observed and predicted elevations, planned generation releases at the dams, reservoir operating guides, ecological health ratings, fish population survey results, recreation facilities and more at https://www.tva.gov/Environment/Lake-Levels/Ocoee-2
