Murphy North Carolina and Cherokee County North Carolina * Area Recreational Activities

Surrounded by great fishing, golf, whitewater adventures, hiking, horseback riding and a host of
other activities, Cherokee County offers endless scenic and recreational opportunities, and there are also theaters, antique shops, craft shows, flea markets
and historical points of interest.

Fairs, festivals and other special events often take center stage in the county. America's oldest wagon train is the highlight of the Old Fashioned 4th of July Celebration in Andrews. As autumn colors arrive, the National Appalachian Jeep Jamboree in Murphy, and the Antique Car Show in Andrews are popular events.

Several golf courses in the area range from championship to amateur, with golf pro shops. Many have discounted golf equipment and great restaurants.

There are nine reservoirs within a short drive of Cherokee County. The density of water bodies in the area make it a boater's haven, providing them beautiful scenery, good fishing and uncrowded waterways. Appalachia, Cherokee and Hiwassee lakes, all impounded by the Tennessee Valley Authority, are in Cherokee County. Hiwassee Dam is the highest overspill dam in the world at 307 feet.

Cherokee County could be one of the best areas in the country for a variety of whitewater experiences. The Ocoee River, the 1996 Olympic venue for whitewater kayaking, forms out of Ocoee Lake about 20 miles west of the county line.

The Ocoee River is considered by many the premier whitewater river in the East. The Nantahala River, just a few miles north of the county line, offers kayakers and rafters a more leisurely trip, although it has its share of rapids.
The Tellico River just to the north is another excellent whitewater river. It falls 120 feet per mile of water, placing it on the same level with the Ocoee River, but the Tellico is too low to float on normal days.
