Lake Lure North Carolina has been called one of the most
breathtaking man-made lakes in the world. Only Mother Nature could have helped
create something so simply remarkable. Purely reserved for recreation and
relaxation, Lake Lure contains great stretches of open water, three long bays,
an island of more than seven acres and many small inlets – all with the
glorious backdrop of hardwoods and pines covering never-ending stretches of
untouched hills and mountains.
