Wifi Notice:
Lake Lure is in a mountain setting with wifi service that is typically very good, but it can sometimes be slow or temporarily go out. During storms there may also be power outages and internet disruptions, though the power company provides restoration timeframes. While we hope neither of these things will impact your stay, we want to keep you informed just in case!

Life jackets are required at all times when using the kayaks. We provide four adult life jackets and two children’s life jackets in different sizes.
