Boat Ride on Lake Lure

Lake Lure is a man-made lake that can be seen from Chimney Rock Park.

From wikipedia:
In 1902, Dr. Lucius B. Morse and his brothers Hiram and Asahel purchased 64 acres around Chimney Rock (within present-day Chimney Rock State Park) for $5,000. They later acquired enough land in the area to bring the total to 8,000 acres  Lucius Morse's wife Elizabeth is credited with naming the lake (and the town).

I was told the name was to make the location alluring.

There have been movies filmed here, including the part of "Dirty Dancing"  where he holds her over the water.  I was also told that much of the filming could not be used because their lips were too blue and quivery from their swim in the chilly water!

This may be the Buffalo Rock - or maybe not. . .
