The attraction of this downtown is a network of trails and boardwalks which offer views of the river. It's a quiet mountainous area, and while the aesthetics aren't what you'd get at some of the really primo tourist attractions, it is a pleasant and relaxing piece of nature. The upkeep of the infrastructure varied dramatically; some boardwalks looked quite new, while another platform was falling apart. I was on parts of the trails for the better part of an hour but I'm sure there was plenty more that I didn't get to. It is an area that has something to offer regardless of the season, and while I'd rather hit one of the big parks nearby, it was a nice place to spend a little time when I did.

Just a little walkway along the river not much to see or do sadly. Lots of traffic noise as well

Enjoyable mild walk along the river from the Depot on the primitive trail loop, which connects to all trails on the Riverwalk. Slightly downhill terrain to start and there are some roots along the way. So much more fun than walking on pavement! There were some elevated boards in low areas so your feet don't get soggy. Thoroughly enjoyable way to spend some time viewing fall colors.

As good as it gets for a small town nature trail. The parking areas may not be super clearly labeled, but they’re easy enough to find. We parked down at the depot where there was a farmer’s market going on (Saturday). From there we walked the whole trail - took our time but didn’t take long. There’s an audio tour that’s worth listening to, river views, nature views, and a touch of history. Perfect way to spend a morning.

Only walked to the pedestrian bridge and watched the river flow for a while. It was a foggy morning and the river had a mysterious look. Smallish parking lot, but there are a few. Did not see any restrooms in the parking lot.

Great walk along the Hiwassee River in Murphy,NC. Easy trail with boardwalk and primitive trail down to river bed.

A beatiful place to walk along the river. Plenty of places in Murphy to eat. Even an ice cream shop!

Good for a regular walk every now and then, dog friendly, and it's right next to the recreation center.

Nice place to walk, but not a lot of paved trails. Mostly dirt and grass. But clean and not very busy.

Because of my stroke, I decided not to take the full walk but the pictures are wonderful on Google maps. Maybe next time

Easy trails, well maintained. Very peaceful. Be sure to apply bug spray or the mosquitoes will carry you off!

We walked the river walk and it DOWNPOURED on us ?? it was massive raindrops. We got to the tail of leach plaque and read it out loud. It was very ominous.Truly before the rain it was a lovely hike. They are doing really cute things in this park . I can imagin fishing with my kids and our friends can easily hang out in alot of the places and just gather. It's a cute park.

Beautiful park with a nice paved walking trail. Goes along the river and back. Wheelchair accessible. Even has a swing for a wheelchair at the playground.

A beautiful place to take a walk, run, or picnic. The calm serenity of listening to the water rush by and watching wildlife is a must do, in my opinion.
