Ocoee Scenic Byway (US-64)
The Ocoee Scenic Byway follows 26 miles of US-64 through Cherokee National Forest in the southeast corner of Tennessee — the first nationally designated Forest Service Scenic Byway in the United States (1988). The route traces the north bank of the Ocoee River through a dramatic 15-mile gorge section of rocky bluffs and whitewater, past Parksville Lake and the Ocoee Whitewater Center — site of the 1996 Olympic canoe/kayak slalom. The western end climbs the Chilhowee Mountains for panoramic views of the Tennessee Valley, Cumberland Plateau, and on clear days into North Carolina and Georgia. Steady curves and a smooth surface make it accessible to all skill levels.
