Parks & Nature
Hiking trails with gorgeous views over Lake Lure. We pack a lunch and eat it on the terrace. Then, we hike to the waterfall and take the loop course. It is challenging at places, but exciting as well. We do avoid the steps, not good for our knees and joints...
As a special event in the summertime, we cool off by stepping under the waterfall. Ice-cold water, but refreshing. Don't forget a bathing suit and something to dry you off.
The entrance fee is the only drawback.
