The Flowering Bridge is a 12 minute drive from A Touch of Luxury Cabin in Mill Spring/Lake Lure. It is located in the same area as Morse Park, the Lake Lure Welcome Center, the Lake Lure Tour Boat rides, and the Beach at Lake Lure. This is the perfect free activity if you arrive in the area early, and are waiting to check into the cabin. Or maybe you have an extra half hour before your tour boat departs. The bridge crosses the Rocky Broad River and links Lake Lure to Chimney Rock Village. It was initially completed in 1925, and was used by vehicles up until 2011. A new bridge was built to replace it, and the original bridge was given to the Town of Lake Lure. Community volunteers turned it into the beauty it is today, and volunteers continue to maintain it.
