Together We Rise - Reopening Updates

The Town of Lake Lure, NC is pleased to report that the lake level has reached approximately 986.2 feet Mean Sea Level (MSL)—just 4.3 feet below full pond (990.5 MSL). These photos highlight the steady progression of refilling the lake, captured from the east edge of Morse Park facing the main channel.

Crews from the North Carolina State Mission Assigned Recovery Task (SMART) Program continue working around the lake, removing remaining debris and helping restore the shoreline. To date, they have cleared more than 800 cubic yards of debris, and their efforts are ongoing.

Additionally, work is taking place at the Washburn Marina - rebuilding the floating boardwalk and marina docks, constructing the marina tour boat docks, and fueling station, and building a new marina building to serve the public.

These final steps mark meaningful progress as we move closer to reopening Lake Lure. We are working hard to ensure a smooth reopening process and we can't wait to welcome everyone back! Thank you for your continued support and patience throughout this process.
