Lake Lure

Lake Lure may be famous as the setting for Dirty Dancing, but a weekend here can play more like an action-adventure flick. The lake is the number one attraction and the reason so many families visit Lake Lure year after year. Visitors come to enjoy the 720 acres of lake, sparkling clean beach area, and the incredible Blue Ridge mountain range including Chimney Rock. History records that the idea of a resort community in western North Carolina was the vision of Dr. Lucius B. Morse.

The Beach at Lake Lure is the perfect gateway. Relax under the sun, float on the water, build sand castles, or picnic with family and friends. Lake Lure Beach is the perfect getaway.

For a soaking good time, visit our water park with water slide and water wars.
