Toccoa/Ocoee River
http://dbpedia.org/resource/Toccoa/Ocoee_River an entity of type: Thing
L'Ocoee (en anglais : Ocoee River), également appelée la Toccoa (en anglais : Toccoa River) dans sa partie amont, est un cours d'eau américain qui s'écoule de la Géorgie au Tennessee. Elle commence par traverser les comtés d'Union et de Fannin avant de parcourir, dans l'État voisin, le comté de Polk, où elle se jette dans l'Hiwassee, qui fait partie du système hydrologique du Mississippi. La rivière arrose notamment la forêt nationale de Chattahoochee-Oconee puis la forêt nationale de Cherokee.

O rio Toccoa/Ocoee é atualmente o único rio que corre para o noroeste através dos Apalaches do sul, por onde passa pelas cidades gêmeas de McCaysville, Geórgia e Copperhill, Tennessee, no sudeste dos Estados Unidos. Para atravessar esse rio deve-se usar a ponte que liga o Georgia State Route 5 (Blue Ridge Street) com Tennessee State Route 68 e Estado da Geórgia Route 60 (Ocoee Toccoa Street e Street). Esse corpo d'água é conhecido pelo seu rafting, slalom e águas Turbulentas e, por isso, permite o aproveitamento da sua correnteza como sede de eventos sociais locais, além de já ter sido palco do campeonato dos Jogos Olímpicos de Verão de 1996 realizada principalmente em Atlanta, cerca de 100 milhas (160 km) ao Sul da Região.

The Toccoa River and Ocoee River are the names in use for a single 93-mile-long (150 km) river that flows northwestward through the southern Appalachian Mountains of the southeastern United States. It is a tributary of the Hiwassee River, which it joins in Polk County, Tennessee, near the town of Benton. Three power generating dams are operated along it. The name Ocoee originates from the Cherokee name for Passiflora incarnata, ocoee. Toccoa comes from the Cherokee term for "where the Catawbas lived" or "beautiful".

The Toccoa River and Ocoee River are the names in use for a single 93-mile-long (150 km) river that flows northwestward through the southern Appalachian Mountains of the southeastern United States. It is a tributary of the Hiwassee River, which it joins in Polk County, Tennessee, near the town of Benton. Three power generating dams are operated along it. The river is called the Toccoa for its 56 miles (90 km) through Georgia, until it reaches the twin cities of McCaysville, Georgia and Copperhill, Tennessee, at the truss bridge which connects Georgia 5 (Blue Ridge Street) with Tennessee 68 and Georgia 60 (Ocoee Street and Toccoa Street). The remainder is called the Ocoee through Tennessee. The Ocoee is globally known for its Class III-V whitewater rapids, appealing to kayakers and rafting enthusiasts. It is also home to the local salamander, Desmognathus ocoee. The upper section of the Ocoee was host to whitewater slalom events during the Centennial 1996 Summer Olympics held primarily in Atlanta, about 100 miles (160 km) to the south. The name Ocoee originates from the Cherokee name for Passiflora incarnata, ocoee. Toccoa comes from the Cherokee term for "where the Catawbas lived" or "beautiful". On February 16, 1990 flooding of the river submerged much of the central business district of the riverfront towns of Copperhill, Tennessee and McCaysville, Georgia. The area was once heavily mined for copper ore from the Copper Basin and polluted by smelting operations. Extensive logging and plant destroying smog depleted topsoil and polluted acid and metals into the area's streams. The area has since been cleaned and greened. Olympic kayaker Joe Jacobi led a successful effort to bring the Atlanta Olympic white-water event to the Ocoee River in 1996, and his wife Lisa, a former CNN news producer, left her job to open a downtown bed-and-breakfast and become a local internet entrepreneur.
