Boat Ramps

  • Apalachia Boat Ramp
       From the intersection of US-64/74 with NC-294 (about 8 miles west of Murphy), take NC-294 for 8½ miles. Turn right on Road 1314 (also signed as " Hiwassee Dam Access Rd"). Follow this road for about 4½ miles and turn left onto Powerhouse Road. Follow this road about a half mile, around the bend, and you'll see the ramp on your left.

NOTE: the following three ramps are all on Lake Hiwassee within a mile of each other.

  • Hanging Dog Creek Boat Ramp
       In Murphy at intersection of US-19 Bus (Hiwassee St) and Tennessee St., head north on Tennessee St. Soon after you round the bend and cross the river Tennessee Street become Joe Brown Hwy (Road 1326). Continue on this, crossing Hanging Dog Creek to Road 1447 (it will be on your left not quite a half mile after crossing Hanging Dog Creek). Turn left onto this road  and follow it to the end and the ramp.

  • Grape Creek Boat Ramp
       In Murphy at intersection of US-19 Bus (Hiwassee St) and Tennessee St., head north on Tennessee St. Soon after you round the bend and cross the river Tennessee Street become Joe Brown Hwy (Road 1326). Continue on this, crossing Hanging Dog Creek to the Grape Creek access ramp (on your left). About 8 miles from US-19 Bus.

  • Ramsey Bluff Boat Ramp
       In Murphy at intersection of US-19 Bus (Hiwassee St) and Tennessee St., head north on Tennessee St. Soon after you round the bend and cross the river Tennessee Street become Joe Brown Hwy (Road 1326). Continue on this, crossing Hanging Dog Creek to Road 1447 (it will be on your left not quite a half mile after crossing Hanging Dog Creek). Turn left onto this road  and follow it for about a mile to the intersection (on your left). I believe this unimproved road is signed simply "Ramsey Bluff". About a hundred yards in you will encounter another intersection which is the same road coming back at you (it is a loop). I prefer staying to the right.  You will easily see the ramp.
