Summer Fun in Murphy, NC !

Well we didn’t need the calendar to tell us summer was officially here in Murphy, NC! We all had a colder than usual winter and it looks, and feels like, a hotter than usual summer too. Here in the western NC, north GA and eastern TN mountains we’re surrounded by many lakes and wide rushing rivers to cool off on these hot summer days. All of these companies offer Rafting, Kayaking, Canoeing and Tubing adventures on the rivers.
