Lake Lure, North Carolina, is known as the "Gem of the Carolinas." Twenty-five years after Dr. Lucius Morse and his brothers Hiram and Asahil purchased Chimney Rock in 1902, their dream of creating Lake Lure and the town of Lake Lure was realized. Lake Lure is surrounded by majestic mountain cliffs and fed by the idyllic Rocky Broad River. A popular tourist destination, Lake Lure hosted famous figures through the years, including Franklin D. Roosevelt and F. Scott Fitzgerald. Also significant in film history, it provided the backdrop for Dirty Dancing and Last of the Mohicans. Images of America: Lake Lure showcases the rich community, tourism and recreational history of this mountain community. Highlights of Lake Lure include: • The Hickory Nut Gorge before Lake Lure • The Chimney Rock Camp for Boys, The Lake Lure Camp for Girls, Camp Lurecrest and other summer camps and recreational activities in the area • The buildings of Lake Lure, including the Lake Lure Inn, the Ward House and the many churches in the area Available at area bookstores, independent retailers, and online retailers, or through Arcadia Publishing at (888)-313-2665 or online.
