Does the Ocoee River have Class 5 Rapids?

No, the Ocoee does not have any Class 5 rapids. The typical water levels rafted are between 1,200 to 1,600 cfs. CFS stand for cubic feet per seconds. Commercial rafting stops if the river reaches 3,000 cfs or above. At normal levels the Middle Ocoee is a classic class III whitewater trip in the southeast. Consequently the Upper Ocoee features several Class IV rapids at normal flow.
