My spirit is elevated every time I arrive and see the forested green of the pine trees surrounding the beautiful lake setting.

The lake is surrounded by lush mountain tops and sheer granite cliffs. In the distance are the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina and Hickory Nut Gorge with names like Buffalo Head and Sleeping lady.

Paddle boarding is one of our favorite things to do in Lake Lure and it’s the first thing we did when we arrived.

There’s no fear of sharks, jelly fish or crocodiles like back in Australia (our homeland). I can swim freely in the pools of serenity.

You can see the stairs from Dirty Dancing where Baby carried the watermelon on a Lake Lure boat tour, which we did on our last afternoon in Lake Lure, North Carolina.

What I love about this beautiful lakeside destination, is that it has NOT become one large lake resort.
