Copperhill

The Ocoee River defines the setting of Copperhill — its valley cuts through the southern Appalachians and places this Tennessee town beside the Georgia line, opposite McCaysville. Copperhill belongs to the Copper Basin, where large-scale copper mining and smelting shaped the local economy for generations and left a dramatic environmental legacy; restoration has since returned tree cover to much of the surrounding hills. Downtown retains the compact feel of a former industrial town, with Tennessee and Georgia meeting only steps apart. Farther west, the Ocoee became internationally known as the canoe slalom venue for the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games.
