Lake Lure is flat out stunning! Many years ago, National Geographic named it one of the Top 10 Most Beautiful Man Made Lakes in the World. It is just as beautiful to this day. The park that forms a peninsula out into the Lake has a wonderful walk way around it, covered with flowers and beautiful trees. It's a must see and great photo op place!

We didn't need to stop in this visit, but for a first visit to the area, the Visitors Center is very conveniently located next to the beach area. We were here in August and the town was very busy. Coming back a few days after Labor Day, the town was extremely quiet which made it really nice to wander around. We're looking forward to returning for the Fall leaf season.

Thank you Kayley for the review. The motto for our county is "Small Town Friendly" and we are happy you walked away with that experience. Next time you are back this way make sure to check out some of our other towns that are just minutes away such as Rutherfordton and Forest City. The fall color is just beautiful in October on the Cherry Bounce Trail driving tour!
