Murphy River Walk & Canoe Trail 3+ miles of trails following the Hiwassee and Valley Rivers from the L&N Depot to Murphy High School. Thank you!

Since it began conception in 2002, the River Walk has seen the successful completion of all phases of the basic trail construction between Konehete Park and the Old L&N Depot, and now includes the Confluence Loop, Canoe Trails and a trail following the Valley River to Murphy High School.
