Ocoee Water Temps During 2022 Season

What is the water temperature of the Ocoee River?

The Ocoee River is a popular destination for rafting, kayaking, and tubing. Located in eastern Tennessee and spanning over 70 miles, the Ocoee River offers a thrilling ride for water sports enthusiasts. While the rapids are the main attraction, the water temperature of the river can also play a large part in the experience.

The Ocoee River is impounded three times in shallow lakes upstream of the whitewater. This allows the sun to warm the water. The result is warmer than usual mountain water for whitewater activities.

In the early spring, the Ocoee River’s water temperature can be quite cool. This is due to the mountains that surround the river and the snow melt from the nearby mountains. While this cold water can be a bit of a shock for some, it can also be quite refreshing for those who are brave enough to take the plunge.

As the summer months approach, the water temperature of the Ocoee River warms up considerably. This is the peak season for rafting and other water sports, and the warm water makes the experience that much more enjoyable. For those who prefer a cooler ride, Ocoee Adventure Center provides wetsuits and splash gear during the warmer months.

As the fall season approaches, the water temperature of the Ocoee River begins to cool down again. However, the water will remain fairly warm compared to other rivers, making it ideal for those who want to go rafting during the cooler months.

In conclusion, the Ocoee River offers a unique water temperature experience for those who come to experience its rapids. The water is at its coldest in the early spring and warms up to a comfortable temperature during the summer peak season. As the fall approaches, the water temperature begins to cool, but it still remains relatively warm and comfortable. With the help of Ocoee Adventure Center’s wetsuits and splash gear, the Ocoee River offers a great whitewater rafting
