Special Update – Lake Lure Reopening
Exciting news for Lake Lure guests: 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.
Experience the freedom of exploring the tranquil beauty of Lake Lure while captaining your own pontoon boat with Lake Life Rentals. Including a pontoon boat in your mountain vacation is the best way to get out on the water with family and friends and create wonderful vacation memories.
The Bennington has a 11-person capacity, lots of comfortable seating and space allowing you a customized experience for your day on the water. Each boat is fully-equipped for your enjoyment with large bimini tops for shade and a quiet 60 hp mercury engine. Rates include all USCG required safety equipment such as life jackets.
