The Town of Lake Lure, Rutherford Bound, and the Rutherford County Tourism Development Authority has rescheduled the Lake Lure Boardwalk and Washburn Marina Ribbon Cutting Ceremony to Friday, June 11 at 11 a.m. The ceremony was rescheduled from its earlier date of May 14 because the Town of Lake Lure has an important meeting in Raleigh to discuss infrastructure opportunities with the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality. Completed in 2020, the new boardwalk features a durable metal hand railing and walkway with non-slip tread. Connected to the boardwalk are the new boat slips and expanded marina, all built on a fl oating dock system. This event is a great opportunity to learn about these new improvements, as well as the Town's plans for future projects.
