You're
sure to enjoy this beautiful walking trail following the
Valley and Hiwassee Rivers
surrounding the historic town center of Murphy. Trail
heads are currently located at Konehete Park, McClelland
Street,
Tennessee Street and behind the Old L&N Depot.
The
trail features historical sites, native plant life and a
healthy trek around the historic town center,
enjoyed by citizens and visitors alike. Enhancements to
the River Walk continue, courtesy of Mother Nature and a
wonderful team of volunteers, working in coordination
with the Konehete Park staff.
The River Walk is funded by appreciated private
contributions and grants.
