Out of safety concerns for members, guests, employees, and our property, as well as concerns for individual privacy, Rumbling Bald on Lake Lure prohibits the operation or use of unmanned aerial systems (UAV’s) or drones, by the general public, including recreational users and hobbyists without prior written authorization from Rumbling Bald. This prohibition includes drones used for any purpose whatsoever, whether filming or videotaping or by media or journalists operating above or within our boundaries. This prohibition on drone operations or use extends to any drones launched or operated from our property, as well as drones launched from private property outside of our boundaries. Please contact the Rumbling Bald Security Department, 828.694.3046, if you have any questions or if you have appropriate governmental authorization allowing you to operate drones above Rumbling Bald. Any authorized operation of drones must be in accordance with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) rules and regulations, local law enforcement, and US Forest Service rules, as well as those policies separately established by Rumbling Bald. These authorizations, regulations and rules generally require an application to the FAA, certification, training, various restrictions, safety and national security clearances, and a specific limited purpose, as well as insurance coverage, indemnification requirements, and waivers and releases of liability. Any violation of this policy may involve suspension of your privileges, guest’s removal from the property, in addition to penalties or other actions that may be taken by any of the other regulatory agencies noted above.
Please note that only licensed and insured pilots will be considered.

Yes. Our Lakeview Terrace can be transformed into an “inside” reception space. We have custom-made transparent panels that cover the windows and openings of the Terrace. These panels block the wind or rain, but are unobtrusive and you will still have the magnificent view of Lake Lure. We also offer heaters for those cooler evenings.
