Lake Lure

Built around the reservoir created by damming the Rocky Broad River, Lake Lure grew into a resort town in North Carolina’s Hickory Nut Gorge. The lake sits beneath steep, forested Blue Ridge foothills, with Chimney Rock State Park rising nearby above the gorge. Lake Lure also has a place in film history: scenes from the 1987 movie Dirty Dancing were filmed here. Boating, fishing and lakeside walks shape the town’s warmer months, while the surrounding gorge connects it with western North Carolina’s mountain country.
