Ocoee Yurt Company is
located in the Tennessee Overhill Country. The Tennessee Overhill
takes its name from the designation given to th Overhill Cherokee
Towns that were situated "over" the mountains from the Carolina
colonies. The Overhill Towns were clustered along the Little
Tennessee, Telllico, Hiawassee and Ocoee Rivers in what is today
Monroe, McMinn and Polk Counties.
In the Overhill area you can experience a
variety of activities. There are five rivers, four lakes, one
underground lake and two scenic by-ways. Tennessee's only national
forest is located here along with three state parks, a British Fort
and a gold district.
You can also experience a textile
museum, railroad museum, Cherokee museum, antique shops and craft
galleries. Other museums include a copper mining museum, pioneer
museum and a Japanese culture center.
For whitewater rafting buffs there is a
world class whitewater race course along with numerous other
white water rafting opportunities.
Mountain bikers will find miles of trails
to ride and hikers can experience the mountains in all their
glory.
