Ocoee No. 1, with the other Ocoee dams, is an integral part of TVA's
hydroelectric system. Together they produce more than 70,000 kilowatts of
electric power.

The U.S. Forest Service operates campgrounds on Parksville Reservoir in the
beautiful Cherokee National Forest, and visitors can also stay at a
commercially run inn on the reservoir. A number of commercial outfitters
supply equipment and organize whitewater rafting trips on the Ocoee River.

The Ocoee River was the whitewater venue for the 1996 Olympics and is one of
the top ten whitewater rivers in the country. In 1993 TVA built a concrete and
wooden model of a section of the river to guide U.S. Forest Service
construction of the Olympic whitewater course. The 300-by-30-foot model is
located near Ocoee No. 1 Dam.
