Lake Lure continues to recover from Helene. Mallard Cove is welcoming guests! Although the Chimney Rock Village shops and the Lake Lure lake/beach/waterfront remain closed to boating/swimming and other recreational use in 2025, there is SO MUCH that this area has to offer. Chimney Rock State Park is projected to open summer 2025. Come to Mallard Cove as a peaceful retreat and “home base” for visiting nearby towns. Area restaurants/attractions in Lake Lure, Hendersonville & Asheville now open. There's public golf at Rumbling Bald, area wineries, breweries, music, trails, waterfalls, and more within an hour's drive of Lake Lure. Tryon International Equestrian Center Pavilion is hosting some of the Chimney Rock businesses on weekends. Saluda, Rutherfordton, Black Mountain, Saluda, Mills River, Blowing Rock, Boone, and Brevard are great day-trip destinations. By choosing to visit, you’re supporting the local businesses of Lake Lure, Chimney Rock and Western NC!
