Dining & Shopping

The Lake Lure area has a bounty of attractions and activities to satisfy your need to play. Outdoor options abound: scramble to the top of the rock at Chimney Rock State Park, splash around with water sports at Lake Lure, cast a line in the Rocky Broad River, perfect your swing at our championship golf courses, bike the back roads. Step inside, and explore a museum of classic cars, art galleries, a children's museum and other attractions. Customize your getaway with packages for couples, families, girlfriends and others.

With so many dining choices, there's no reason for a grumbling stomach. Want seafood? You'll find it. German or Italian? You're covered. Casual? Put your sneakers on and grab a slice of pizza. Upscale? Try an historic inn. Visitors may dine by Lake Lure, on a river or with mountain views — as sweet as dessert itself.
