The park is a great place for an easy walk or run. Combine it with the Lake Lure Town Center Walkway to see the Flowering Bridge and the beach.
This park features beautiful vistas of the mountains of Hickory Nut Gorge and is a popular choice for an impromptu picnic, sunbathing, reading, bird watching
and catching an afternoon nap in a lawn chair by the lake.

Keep your maps in a plastic bag to protect them from the rain and know how to use them. GPS units are great, but they are not substitutes for knowing how to use a map and compass.
