Cherokee County
Escape to the Appalachian MountainsCherokee County is nestled at the gateway to the Smokey Mountains. We are blessed with an abundance of lush forests, beautiful rivers, rushing trout streams and the most beautiful lakes in the country. The city centers of Murphy and Andrews offer an eclectic mix of eateries, pubs, breweries and boutiques. Many of our rural areas like Hiwassee Dam, Ranger, Peachtree and Brasstown offer quaint settings of lush farms, country stores, accessible United States Forest Service and the quiet life you long for.
