Lake Lure

Day Trips in Asheville

"While Lake Lure offers up more opportunities for outdoor activities during the summer months, visiting in winter is also enjoyable. It has a zip-line that runs alongside the mountains through the forest canopy, kayaks that you can rent to explore the lake’s shores from the water, and slow or fast-paced boat tours. Located only 45-minutes from Asheville, Lake Lure is an ideal summer escape although it can be quite busy. Southern summers can be brutally hot and humid, even in the mountains at lower elevations — so use this day trip as an opportunity to cool off with a swim or while enjoying water sports." - MATADOR_NETWORK
