Making the Most of Murphy, NC

Murphy is a small city located in the Nantahala National Forest, and is set right along Hiwassee Lake. As the seat of Cherokee County, and one of the most western cities in North Carolina, Murphy is an ideal destination for fans of the great outdoors. Be sure to keep that tackle box loaded with all the essentials as the fishing at Apalachia Lake, and the aforementioned Hiwassee Lake will keep even the most experienced of anglers busy.

Guests of the Best Western hotel in Murphy enjoy exploring the rich history of Cherokee County with a trip to Cherokee County Historical Museum. Once there, be ready for a mind-expanding experience with history dating back to the mid0-1800s. On one of those gorgeous spring evenings, be sure to take stroll through the Downtown Murphy River Walk for tremendous scenic views of the western North Carolina backdrop. Guests especially enjoy the quick and easy access to and from the city along Highway 64 and Highway 74.
