Lake Lure NC
Located in western North Carolina, Lake Lure

Asheville. The Rocky Broad River feeds crystal clear
water into the gorge and flows to the lake. National

beautiful man-made lakes in the world. People come
from all over to live and play on the 720 acres of
lake, 21 miles of pristine beaches and beautiful
scenery in the Blue Ridge Mountains. The climate of
Lake Lure NC is especially delightful because of its
location in the isothermal belt. Winters are usually
a little bit warmer and summers are a little bit
cooler than other places in western North Carolina.

estate in the area is highly valued. Many of the
residents of Lake Lure commute to other places like
Asheville to work.
