X2. Chimney Rock is gorgeous. They have an elevator for a lot of it, but last time I was up there it was out of service.

Chimney Rock and Beer...... there are some great little brew pubs there.
I took my daughter to Canopy Ridge Farm for zip lining when we were there this time of year a couple of years ago. She was 13 and had a blast. I made her a video using my GoPros of her antics. They supply them at a charge if you want.
We also went tubing with Lake Lure Adventure Company. She loved it, I got beat to sh!$ trying to hold on with her behind the boat.

We’re going on Oct 6-10 and planning to go to Tryon Equestrian Center in Mill Springs for the Rodeo. My daughter is a horse lover and novice barrel racer. It is a little bit of a drive from Lake Lure though!

I’m following this thread too!
If you play golf, there are 2 nice golf courses there. The Bald Mountain course has a plaque on a particular hole which memorializes a scene in Dirty Dancin', which was filmed there, of course. Lake Lure is a beautiful place. Chimney Rock is geographically close but it takes a while to drive there because of the switchback road.
Weed Patch is a long out and back hike Weed Patch Mountain Trail Info and Map - https://conservingcarolina.org/weedpatch/ I would recommend getting a parking spot at Eagle Rock and hiking down. The views are better from that end.
You’ll be in my neck of the woods. Building my home 15 minutes outside of Lake Lure. I really enjoy Apple Valley Golf Course if I had to pick one of the two. The equestrian center is really not far at all. It’s local for all of us. If your wife likes wine and vineyards, then you should try out Parker Binns and Over Mountain Vineyards. Both are very close to Lake lure and the equestrian center. There’s actually a third named Mountainbrook but I don’t prefer their wines. They are all so close that you could go to all of them in one afternoon with ease.

Gents, thanks for the recommendations. It was a great trip! We did gem mining, chimney rock/waterfall adjacent to it, kayaked, swam, fished, and an atv tour with boon life. Highly recommend them btw. Great time to make memories. Thanks again!
