Lake Lure is a reservoir, located near the eponymous town of Lake Lure, North Carolina. In 1925, the Morse family created Carolina Mountain Power Company. This company funded dam construction on the Broad River which produced the lake after which the town is named. The dam took two years to build and Lake Lure was finally impounded and filled by 1927. At ordinary water levels, Lake Lure covers approximately 720 acres and has a shoreline of approximately 27 miles. In 1928, the hydroelectric plant began generating electricity for the Blue Ridge Power Company, one of the companies taken over by Duke Power.
