Special Update – Lake Lure Reopening
Lake Lure is officially open following Hurricane Helene, and normal lake use has resumed! Previous lakewide no-wake restrictions have been lifted, so guests can once again enjoy boating and time on the water while continuing to follow all posted no-wake zones, boating guidelines, and local lake rules.
Chimney Rock businesses are also open and ready to welcome visitors back. This is a wonderful time to return to the area, enjoy the lake, explore Chimney Rock, and support the local businesses and communities that make this region so special. Please note that public docks remain closed at this time. Guests who would like to get out on the water can rent boats through Yonder, with delivery available for lakefront homes or pickup available at the southernmost point of the lake.
Start the morning at Branching Out with views of Rumbling Bald, spend the day at Lake Lure or Chimney Rock, then unwind on the screened porch or gather in the upstairs game room. Designed for up to 10 guests, this three-level Lake Lure cabin offers two King suites, flexible sleeping spaces, and an upper observation deck with views of the lake.
