Lake Lure Scheduled to Return May 1st, 2026 — Guests Encouraged to Book Early
Lake Lure, N.C. — Rumbling Bald on Lake Lure is excited to share that Lake Lure is scheduled to return for regular operations on May 1st, 2026, marking the much-anticipated comeback of one of Western North Carolina’s most treasured landmarks.
With full lake access set to return, guests can once again enjoy boating, swimming, fishing, and lakeside recreation throughout the spring and summer seasons. The timing also aligns with several of Rumbling Bald’s most popular events, including Memorial Day Weekend and a July 4th Celebration with fireworks over the lake during the nation’s 250th anniversary year.
“This is a moment our community and returning guests have been looking forward to,” said Jeff Geisler, GM at Rumbling Bald. “We expect demand to be high as travelers plan ahead for the lake’s comeback season, and we strongly encourage guests to book early to secure their preferred lodging and dates.”
To help guests stay informed, Rumbling Bald encourages visitors to follow official updates from the Town of Lake Lure at www.townoflakelure.com for the most current information on lake access and restoration progress.
Advance bookings for the 2026 travel season are now available, and early reservations are recommended for popular weekends.
