We’re at the height of summer and with temperatures reaching an all time high, staying cool is becoming increasingly difficult. Many fight the heat with a cold drink and an umbrella, but fail to fully escape. On the other hand, we at Rumbling Bald Resort prefer to dip into the cooling waters of Lake Lure. Our lakeside beach is the perfect spot for grilling and picnicking while enjoying a refreshing dip in the roped-off swimming area. We also offer the option of our many swimming pools and a lazy river.
But if swimming is not your thing, we highly recommend any of the numerous, alternative amenities that we offer to keep the heat down and the fun high.
Pontoon Boat Rental
Set out in one of our family sized, twenty foot Bentley pontoon boats and enjoy a leisurely trip on the calm waters of Lake Lure. Our pontoon boats are available for rent by the hour at the North Shore Beach Cabana, and each have a carrying capacity of ten passengers.
Advanced boat reservations can be made by calling the North Shore Beach Cabana at 828-694-3019, or the Wellness Center at 828-694-3005.
Kayak & Canoe Rental
If you are looking for an up close and personal experience with the natural environment of Lake Lure, or our private Bald Mountain Lake, we highly recommend renting one of our kayaks or canoes. Enjoy a relaxing activity with you family and friends while bridging a connection with the beautiful scenery around the lake. Kayaks and canoes are rented by the hour with all of the required gear included with the cost. Single and double kayak rentals are located on Lake Lure, while canoe rentals can be found on Bald Mountain Lake.
SUPboards
If you are looking for a more thrilling way to experience Lake Lure, try our Stand-Up Paddle boards, or SUPboards. SUPboards, part surfboard and part kayak, are an easy to learn activity that is fun for the entire family. This has also rapidly become a guest favorite activity here at Rumbling Bald Resort. All SUPboard rentals are available for one to two hours at Lake Lure.
All rentals include life jackets.
Fun Outside of the Resort
If you are looking for other exciting alternatives, we also recommend the Broad River Paddle Trail, a forty-two mile long canoeing or paddling trail that stretches from Lake Lure to the Cleveland County line. More information can be found here: www.rutherfordoutdoor.org/outdoor-activities/paddling.
Ice Cream and Treats
After a fun day of swimming and spending time out on the lake, it’s nice to top off your experiences with a cool, sweet treat. Our North Shore Beach Cabana sells ice cream that will certainly help you beat the heat, or try the Rocking Leprechaun Ice Cream Parlor, located in nearby Chimney Rock, NC.
