LAKE LURE, N.C. (828newsNOW) — Lake Lure remains about 15 feet below full pond as the town continues work to replace seals on the Tainter gates at the Lake Lure Dam, a project officials say is on schedule and expected to be completed in February 2026.
Town officials said the lake level will be maintained at approximately 975 feet mean sea level during the work. Once the project is complete, the town plans to begin refilling the lake, with a target of reopening to the public in May 2026.
