Lake Lure is a
well-known destination for thousands of visitors each year from around
this country, Canada, and abroad. The Town of Lake Lure is a
beautiful place to visit and a wonderful place to live; it is the home
of over 1,050 permanent residents. Located in western North
Carolina, the town sits in the heart of Hickory Nut Gorge, east of
Asheville. The Rocky Broad River winds its way through a series of
rapids down through Hickory Nut Gorge, and the crystal clear water
flows through the valley that feeds Lake Lure. The Town of Lake Lure
encompasses 13.25 square miles including the lake with a large central
body of deep water, three long bays, an island of seven acres and many
small bays and inlets with a background of forest clad hills and
mountains. The climate is unusually temperate as Lake Lure lies in the
“thermal belt” of the western North Carolina mountains and foothills.
The lake is the
number one attraction and the reason so many families visit Lake Lure
year after year. National Geographic has called Lake Lure one of the
most beautiful man-made lakes in the world. 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. Soliciting the financial backing of
his brothers, Dr. Morse purchased 400 acres around Chimney Rock in
1902 to create Chimney Rock Park. Additional acreage was acquired
over the next several years to bring the total to 8,000 acres. Dr.
Morse conceived the idea of building a dam on the Rocky Broad River to
create a lake and a year-round resort. The dam was completed in
September 1926, forming the lake which was named Lake Lure by Dr.
Morse’s wife, Elizabeth Parkenson. The Town of Lake Lure was
incorporated in 1927.
The Town of Lake
Lure is a great location for sports including swimming, golfing,
hiking or serious rock climbing. You can enjoy a wide variety of water
activities, ranging from canoeing and fishing to pleasure boating and
water skiing. Both motor and non-motorized boats enjoy the lake;
however, a lake permit is required to place a private boat on the
lake.

of rooms and passages. The cavern was discovered in the 1800's by men
intrigued by the mystery of fish swimming out of the mountain. Since
then, extensive research has been done to acknowledge the history,
folklore, geology and biology of Linville Caverns. The mystery is
