This wonderful park was created in 2014 by the Town of Lake Lure with land conservation and trail development help from Conserving Carolina. The Buffalo Creek Loop Trail is a 3.5 mile hiking and biking loop which connects to the 10 mile Weed Patch Mountain Trail, leading to Eagle Rock. The loop trail is shared by bikers and hikers and is well marked so that hikers head in one direction and bikers in the opposite which varies on different days of the week. The hike is moderately strenuous.

Stroll along the Rocky Broad Riverwalk in the heart of Chimney Rock Village and fish in the Rocky Broad River. This river is well stocked and fishing is year round (except for February), with Dec-Mar being “catch and release” months. All fishing in North Carolina requires a N.C. Fishing License & if fishing for trout, you must have the additional “Trout Stamp” on your license. Licenses can be purchased on the N.C. Wildlife Organization's website.

We love living in our charming, small mountain town. Walking along the Boardwalk at the Washburn Marina or on the Flowering Bridge, hiking, boating, visiting the shops and the many outside dining restaurants and simply breathing in the fresh, clean air. And sunset on Lake Lure is especially stunning!

Gezinme

Be prepared for occasional snow and ice in the winter.

Check weather in advance, especially in Jan-Mar. It's helpful to have 4-wheel drive when driving in ice and/or snow. We are located in a wooded area and occasionally you might spot a bear. We are guests in their world so to protect them and your cars, please lock your cars when not occupied, especially at night.
