Lake Lure Flowering Bridge, Lake Lure

Absolutely beautiful place to stop if your visiting Lake Lure! It’s FREE but offers a donation box for those who want to contribute to this beautiful location. There’s so many fairy housing sets, a dog area, Peter Rabbit area, mirror on the wall and so much more. Definitely suggest stopping to check it out. There’s parking on both ends of the bridge making it easy to get too. Plenty of areas to sit and relax as well. Not a far walk but if your wanting to enjoy the views give yourself at least a hour to look around. Easy to use stroller or wheel chair if needed as well as most is paved.

Honestly, the only reason we went there was that a power line was down in Chimney Rock State Park, but I'm really glad we did. It is really beautiful, and I'm really glad the community could envision such a beautiful use of the beautiful old bridge. Our 12 year old wasn't terribly interested, but had he been a little younger, he would have loved the tiny garden gnome settings placed throughout the garden as well as the children's book replicas. There were also age-appropriate scavenger hunts (that our 12 year old wasn't in to). It was really sweet that they had a literal rainbow bridge where folks could place memorials (pet tags, collars, etc.) to loved but gone pets. I loved the variety of plants that worked well with each other visually, and it was so fun to watch the bees, butterflies, and moths doing their job pollinating. They were so busy they hardly paid any attention to us. Finally, this is clearly a labor of love for the community who were there in force watering, pruning, and more! They were all very friendly and helpful. You really should make a visit if you are in the area -- and make a donation to support the garden.

Beautiful peaceful spot close to Chimney Rock and the lake. There were a lot of varieties of flowers to see as well as lizards that were encountered along the way. Recommend it for a quick stop along the way. You will enjoy the walk and it's dog friendly.

Very nice. I like the way the different gardens are constructed and got some nice ideas for the home outside sitting area. The flowers were beautiful and you can tell it's well taken care of.

It was a rainy day. Despite that I was very impressed by the amazing work of the volunteers. We came for the rainbow bridge in order to have a memorial service for my cat. Please donate if you enjoyed your visit.
