Ever wondered what it’s like to take a vintage train ride through the breathtaking Hiwassee River gorge? 🚂💨 Now is your chance to see it for yourself!
​From the incredible "Hiwassee Loop" engineering marvel to the stunning river views, this is a journey you don’t want to miss. 🌊⛰️
​Step back in time and soak in the views of the Cherokee National Forest from the comfort of a train. 🌲🛤️ The Hiwassee River gorge is calling!
​Check out the full details from Tennessee Overhill here: 🔗
​ ​

The Old Line Railroad, completed in the late 1800s, played a key role in shaping the Tennessee Overhill region. Built to connect isolated mountain communities, it supported the movement of timber, iron, and other goods while also opening the area to travel and new opportunities. For many towns along the route, the railroad was a lifeline that contributed to their growth and development.

Today, the line is preserved through a partnership between the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum and the Tennessee Overhill, ensuring that this important piece of history remains accessible. What was once a working rail line is now an opportunity to experience the Overhill in a unique way.

Visitors can ride the rails through the Hiwassee River Gorge, taking in the scenery while following the same path that helped define this area more than a century ago.

To book a train ride, call (423) 263-7840.

A lot of you have been guessing that our BIG SURPRISE is music at the festival field... and while we LOVE bringing live music to the community, that’s actually NOT the surprise! 🤫 🛑 We’re still holding onto that secret for a little longer!
​BUT... we do have something brand new and very special to share! This year, we are officially sponsoring local artists, starting with the incredibly talented Madelyn Tallent! 🎤✨

​We have known Madelyn’s family for generations—they are dear friends of ours—and watching her career take off has been amazing. She is a powerhouse artist you HAVE to follow! 🌟

​In fact, you may have already seen her in some of her photos and videos using our store front, church house, and even playing records in the church house! ⛪️🎶

​Check out this video of her performing in the church house:

Wednesdays are for Water – Hiwassee River

Warmer days are here, and there’s no better way to welcome the season than getting out on the water! Spring is the perfect time to explore the Hiwassee River in Ocoee Country, where cool mountain water and fresh air set the tone for unforgettable days.

The upper Hiwassee is a favorite for rafting, kayaking, and paddleboarding, offering an easy to moderate whitewater experience as it winds through the scenic Cherokee National Forest. As a designated Tennessee Scenic River, it’s known for its natural beauty and unspoiled surroundings.

With mostly Class I and II rapids (and a couple of exciting Class III spots), it’s ideal for both beginners and those looking for a little adventure.

Be sure to check the TVA dam release schedule, then grab your crew and your gear and dive into spring right here in Ocoee Country! If gear is needed, consider starting your venture at Webb Brothers Rafting where they can fit you up with whatever you need to hit the water!
