To get to this National Forest from I-75 we took the Hwy. 64 bypass which is south of Cleveland, TN and runs east from I-75 past Cleveland into the forest. This is a lot easier than trying to pass through Cleveland itself to get there.
The drive through on 64 is beautiful, the TVA has three dams on the Ocoee River which create scenic lakes and nice views as you drive east.
As the previous reviewer noted the Visitors Center is well worth a visit.
There were lots of whitewater rafters on the river as we passed by. Lots of kids riding the rapids on a hot summer day.
