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".

  • 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. (fr)
  • 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.
