Murphs Surf Offers Variety of Recreational Opportunities Floating Down River
Of all the things that make Canton a great place to live—historic downtown, the thriving business community, a great quality of life—one that frequently gets overlooked is the natural wonder of the Etowah River.
In fact, most residents of Canton only experience the Etowah River when they drive over one of the many bridges that cross it.
But Canton is working to change that, to show that having a river so close to downtown presents a unique recreational opportunity—and Murphs Surf is ready to help.
“There’s such peace of mind on the water,” Mike says. “You can go out and get away from the concrete world and see nature in a way you can’t from the road. It’s relaxing, but most of all, it’s fun.”
And if you find you like time on the river or on the trails so much you want to have your own kayak or trail bike, Murphs Surf can help you with that, too. “We sell a variety of recreational equipment, including kayaks and paddle boards, bikes, skateboards, as well as coolers and sun hats,” says Mike. “We are a full recreational outfitter.”
While Mike hopes to see more people come to appreciate the natural beauty of the Etowah River by experiencing it firsthand from a tube or kayak, especially during the summer months, Murphs has big plans to expand the fun, including a membership program, wine tastings, and a kids camp. But ultimately, for Mike, it’s about the river.
