2025 Lake Lure Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

#summervacay Lake Lure is a dreamy summer destination with sparkling waters framed by mountains and charming lakeside accommodations. You can swim at the beach, rent a boat, or take a relaxing cruise. Nearby Chimney Rock Village adds local flavor with ice cream shops, boutiques, and creekside cafes. Scenes from Dirty Dancing were filmed here, adding nostalgic appeal. It’s romantic, relaxing, and great for couples or families — a perfect #summervacay combo of mountain and lake charm.

#summervacay Chimney Rock is a towering 315-foot granite monolith offering jaw-dropping views of Lake Lure and the Hickory Nut Gorge. The hike to the top (or the elevator!) makes it accessible to most, and the reward is stunning in summer’s clear light. The park also includes waterfalls, wildflower-strewn trails, and rock climbing areas. It’s a great mix of challenge and beauty, ideal for adventurers seeking a scenic #summervacay high point.
