Welcome to Murphy, NC
Depending upon which direction you are travelling, Murphy, NC is the first or last town in North Carolina.
We are a small town located in the southern Appalachian mountains in Cherokee County, the most south-western county in the state.
We are located about one hour from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and less than that from the Nantahala River and the Ocoee River, both very popular whitewater rivers in southwestern North Carolina.
Murphy has retained the small town America flavor, with low traffic, less noise, friendly people, and a variety of small stores and shops. Yet, we are still only about a two hour drive from Atlanta, GA; Greenville, SC; Asheville, NC; Gatlinburg, TN; Pigeon Forge, TN, Knoxville, TN; and Chattanooga, TN.

Your lens shows your love for Murphy and the surrounding area. We travel up to Murphy for Wal-Mart, but that may change when the Blairsville one opens. I will have to find other reasons to visit Murphy, you have given me some good ones. Thanks,

Hi John - Do you know a guy who sells barbecue sauce at the flea market. Well, it was like three or four years ago. We went back last year, and I tried to find him. He makes his own sauce. It's sweet and then hot. Fabulous. My label got sauce on it, so now I can't remember the name of the sauce or read the contact info. I just started a web site called Yes You Can Grill. Yippee! My first. I mentioned the sauce there and would love to find it again and give credit to the guy and info on how to get in touch with him to buy it.
