Fall nights, lakeside lights, and a fire that feels just right!

There’s just something special about a crisp autumn evening in Ocoee Country . . . A crackling bonfire, the sounds of the lake, and nowhere else to be.

The forecast is calling for cool nights, warm fires, and no reason to hurry home. Come on and see for yourself.

Wednesdays Are for Water - A Different Kind of Water Adventure!

Who says you have to be on the water to enjoy it?

Fall is one of the most beautiful times to experience the rivers and lakes of Ocoee Country . . . Sometimes all you need is a winding road, a peaceful trail, and a beautiful view.

Take a leisurely drive along the Ocoee Scenic Byway or Highway 30 along the Hiwassee River, where the changing leaves create a colorful backdrop against the water, or slow things down with a peaceful walk, enjoying the reflections of the colors on the water and the crisp fall air.

No raft, kayak, or fishing pole required. Just a little time to take it all in. After all, sometimes the best way to enjoy the water is simply to enjoy the view.

Starlight, star bright, so many stars to see tonight!

And with a view like this over Ducktown, who needs to wish for anything more? You know, sometimes the best show in Ocoee Country begins when the sun goes down.

Monday Must - Taste the Countryside

Come for the scenery . . . Stay for the experience . . . AND take home a taste of the countryside.

Foodie Friday - Beans & Cornbread Season!

Cooler days are settling into Ocoee Country, and you know what that means . . . it’s officially beans & cornbread weather!

Whether you’re stopping by Mona & Larry’s “The Store” in Greasy Creek, grabbing a bowl at Ruby’s Diner, or enjoying white beans at Ocoee Dam Deli & Diner, there are plenty of places to satisfy that craving for some good, old-fashioned comfort food.

Nothing fancy needed -- just a warm bowl of beans, a piece of cornbread, and maybe a little onion on the side.

What’s your must-have with beans & cornbread?

Fall is settling into Ocoee Country . . .

The days are getting shorter, the mountains are beginning to change, and somehow the sunsets seem to know it’s their time to show off.

There’s something special about an autumn evening here, when the last light catches the ridges and reminds you to slow down just long enough to watch the day end.

Fall has arrived -- come on and catch a sunset with us.

Wednesdays are for Water - Turn the volume up, or better yet, turn everything else down

There’s a soundtrack to Ocoee Country that never needs a playlist, and that's the rush of the Ocoee, the ripple of the Hiwassee, a mountain stream tumbling over rocks, or the quiet lap of water along the shore of Parksville Lake.

Sometimes the best thing to do here is simply find your spot and listen -- no notifications, no scrolling, and no streaming service required. It's just water, and it's doing what it’s been doing for a very long time.

Come adventure here . . . or come do absolutely nothing for a while.

As fall settles into Ocoee Country, some of our smallest summer visitors are beginning their remarkable journey south.

The ruby-throated hummingbirds are heading south, with many traveling hundreds or even thousands of miles, toward their wintering grounds in Mexico and Central America. Some will even make the incredible nonstop flight across the Gulf of Mexico.

If you still have a few hummingbirds stopping by, don’t rush to take those feeders down! Keeping them available can provide a welcome refueling stop for late migrants passing through our area. Very soon, though, these little flashes of wings will be gone until spring, but for now, keep an eye on the flowers and feeders. You just might catch one stopping for a final taste of Ocoee Country before continuing south.

Monday Must -- You Read That Right

Yep, you're reading that sign right, and they're really selling drugs and guns at McCaysville Drug Center! This is one of those unexpected roadside stops that makes you do a double take and definitely gives a story to tell when you get home.

A local fixture since 1962, they’ve been dispensing “happiness” for more than six decades. So while you’re exploring the historic Copper Basin, stop in and check out this one-of-a-kind local business, and don’t forget to snap a photo with that famous sign.

After all . . . “Refills or reloads — they’ve got you covered!” as they say! And, that's a vacation photo with a story behind it!
