Nearby Activities

The Lodge on Lake Lure is located in Hickory Nut Gorge, one of the most beautiful canyons in the Eastern United States. The Gorge is about 14 miles long, and extends from the small villages of Gerton through Bat Cave and Chimney Rock to Lake Lure. The rushing Rocky Broad River flows through the Gorge and empties into the crystal waters of the lake.

Just a short drive from the Lodge are two championship 18-hole golf courses. Nearby are the scenic attractions of Chimney Rock Park, Lake Lure Tours, Marina and Beach and the nine-hole Donald Ross Municipal Golf Course, only ¼ mile from The Lodge. 

Also near the Gorge are horseback riding, rafting, biking, kayaking, shopping in quaint shops, good restaurants, and enjoying the lake activities.

Asheville, the Biltmore Estate and the Blue Ridge Parkway are only an hour away. Hendersonville, with shopping, movies and the Flat Rock Playhouse, is only 45 minutes away.
