We decided to make a run down to Lake Lure on Saturday. We had driven through the area right after we moved here, but had never gone to the beach at the lake. That was the plan for yesterday. We had a nice time. The beach is very clean. There is a small splash area with fountains, plus a couple of water slides. Briggs tried those out yesterday, his first time. The weather was okay: partly cloudy and not overly hot. We wondered if we would get rained on and run off. We had a picnic lunch under the shelter. Unfortunately all the tables were occupied by other families; most seemed to have staked claim to their table for the day, shutting them out for anyone else. That kind of blew. The rain held off there; it poured at home later in the evening. All in all a nice day trip.
Lake Lure is in the Hickory Nut Gorge in Rutherford County and is surrounded by Chimney Rock (soon to be an official state park) and Rumbling Bald Mountain. You drive through Bat Cave, NC, Chimney Rock, NC on the way south to Lake Lure.
