There are covered picnic shelters, a fishing pier on the lake, and plenty of parking. Turn right on Sparrows Spring Road and follow the road into the park. In the other direction, Lake Lure offers a town, a lake, a wide public beach and more in Rutherford County. Just the scenery is worth the short trip. Lakeside cottages cling to the shoreline and Chimney rock towers above.
Campgrounds abound and tours on the lake feature millionaires' homes and movie sets.
