Summer Lake Towns Spotlight: Lake Lure

BudgetTravel.com recently included Lake Lure among its “Summer Lake Towns.” Suggesting “retreat to an easygoing American lake town, where you can find simple, affordable pleasures,” the article pointed out Lake Lure, noting, “The scenery is spectacular – those are the Blue Ridge Mountains in the distance – and the more than 21 miles of shoreline along the lake make it easy to find an isolated spot for an impromptu picnic.” In addition, hikers head to Chimney Rock Park. http://www.budgettravel.com/bt-dyn/content/article/2009/06/22/AR2009062202270.html.
