The Beach at Lake Lure
July 4, 2017
Bottomless Pools of Lake Lure, NC
Bottomless Pools is now closed, but was once a popular family tourist attraction in Lake Lure, NC. Little information is publicly available about the park, but it is a beautiful area that is part of the 2011 Master Plan for the future of Chimney Rock Park. So, it may be open to the public in the future.
***The videographer of this film is unknown. It was smuggled out of the US in great secrecy. Many Bothans died to bring us this information....
*** I am told this was filmed with a Canon T5i camera, with the stock 18-55 zoom lens.
Live the Life You Choose in Lake Lure, NC
Waterfront mountain real estate is something that is rare indeed. We pride ourselves on our deep relationship with the area, as well as our vast knowledge of Lake Lure property, land, and its unique, storied history.

BHTV: Incredible Views of Chimney Rock State Park:
“This was the main trade route between Charlotte and Asheville,” says Jim Proctor, former mayor of Lake Lure, NC. “And not only was this a trade route, it was very early on a tourist location. So, this was a place that travelers came to visit not just because it was a waystation, but because it was a great place to stay. And then around the turn of the last century, Lucius Morse came to visit, and he and his family are the folks that bought Chimney Rock Park at that time, and had the vision for Lake Lure. So in the mid-1920s, they ended up buying over 8,000 acres, and 720 acres ended up being what's now Lake Lure.”
“We bought the house as a vacation home. But then, we enjoyed it so much that we decided to move up here full-time,” says John Moore, Lake Lure resident.
“If you've traveled in European countries, and you've been on rivers and huge lakes in Geneva, Switzerland, you see these mountains rising up out of the water, and I think that that is what we have in Lake Lure,” says Paula Moore. “It's like a little piece of Europe right here in the United States, and we feel like we live on vacation, and that is one of the pluses.”
“Now, Lake Lure has just magnificent mountains, the rock cliffs, every kind of vegetation you can dream of, and of course, that's why a lot of folks come and why a lot of movies have been filmed here,” says Proctor. “Dirty Dancing was filmed right down the road, at what used to be Camp Chimney Rock. That was really fun. And then, of course, several years later, The Last of the Mohicans was filmed at Chimney Rock up the hill.”
“We love living around the lake, have a lot of friends who live here, spend time with them,” says Mr. Moore. “We can get to their houses by boat. We can get to the restaurants, to Larkin's and the restaurants downtown by boat, or the restaurants up at the resort.”
“There was an opportunity here in Lake Lure to live on the lake and run a restaurant that's also on the lake, that has its own boat docks, and we've been here, now, 15 years, and we still often commute to our restaurant by boat. Sometimes I even water ski to work,” says Mark Hammond, owner of Larkin’s Restaurant.
“Even when you consider, when I was growing up, there was probably 200 residents, and now there's 1,200, Lake Lure still doesn't have a signal light,” says Proctor. “We have one grocery store, one pharmacy. All the scenic beauty that was here when I was little is still here. It's remarkable that the mountain ranges are still just as scenic now as when I was growing up. The mountains that are literally surrounding this house, the vast majority of those mountains are now protected forever, and that's just real exciting for me.”

Lake Lure and Chimney Rock Village
It is the fall of the year. While it looks like mountains, Lake Lure itself has an elevation of only 1,000 above sea level. The peaks that surround the gorge rise to well over 2,500 feet.
Lake Lure Polar Plunge
A record breaking number of people braved near-frozen waters at the 6th Annual Lake Lure Polar Plunge. More than 200 entrants actually signed up and paid money for the chance to jump into 40 degree water Wednesday.
One participant came all the way from the Netherlands and ages ranged from 3 to 69. Despite the cold, many said it was a great way to start the year.
Proceeds from the event will go to the Hickory Nut Gorge Chamber. They hope to sponsor more marketable events in the area throughout the year.
