The North Georgia mountains and the Ocoee River area is a great place for a second home!
The Ocoee River and Toccoa River are actually a single river that flows northwestward through the southern Appalachian Mountains of the southeastern United States. It is called the Toccoa in Georgia, until it reaches the twin cities of McCaysville, Georgia and Copperhill, Tennessee. The remainder is called the Ocoee through Tennessee, known for its whitewater rafting, and host to whitewater slalom events during the Centennial 1996 Summer Olympics held primarily in Atlanta, about 100 miles (160 km) to the south.
The historic town of Copperhill, TN straddles the state line of Georgia. Its three historic districts are in the process of being restored, updated and brought back to their historic glory.
While its sister city of McCaysville, GA is a great starting (or ending) point to enjoy three nearby National Forests and all they have to offer--The Cherokee, Chattahoochee and Nantahala. The gentle Hiwassee river is also nearby with year-round outdoor recreational opportunities such as fly-fishing and rafting and paddling sports.
