Is it safe to swim in Lake Lure?

1 min read

Asked by: Sarah Sanchez

The beach is open from Memorial Day to Labor Day and is a great way to spend a hot summer day. It also includes a water-park, picnic area, and a nice, covered shelter for rent. Bear in mind that it is unlawful (and unsafe) to swim in Lake Lure off the shore of any town-owned property, except at the town-owned beach.
