Train Excursions

See beautiful Ocoee Country from a train! Ride past remnants of times forgotten and observe areas of the Cherokee National Forest only accessible by rail!

Try the Hiwassee River Rail Adventure. Enjoy a 50-mile round trip up the beautiful lower Hiwassee River Gorge. This 3-1/2 hour trip will take you to the top of the famous “Hiwassee Loop” where the tracks cross over themselves as they corkscrew up the mountain near Farner, Tennessee.

The Loop track has been known by many names, Great Hiwassee Loop, Bald Mountain Loop, and Hook & Eye to name a few, but you’ll call it amazing!
