Lake Use in 2025
The Town Council and leadership are fully aware of how important it is to reopen the lake, and they are committed to doing so as soon as it's safe. However, due to the timeline of the work completed so far and the ongoing efforts required, it's highly unlikely that the lake will be open for the 2025 summer season, including both motorized and non-motorized vessels, as well as swimming. For those of you who have been following the storm recovery closely, this may not be new information, but we wanted to ensure you received this update directly. Rest assured, the Town Council will continue to explore options for reopening the lake or portions of it, and we will keep you informed with any new developments.4 through March 31, 2025 by 12 feet for routine dredging and maintenance.

About the host
Hosted by Mary Placito
Hi - I'm Mary!
My husband and I have always loved the Western North Carolina Mountains. In 2022, we found our Luna Lodge, and in 2023, The Cove Retreat. Since then, we've been having a blast sprucing up these homes to create unique, cozy spaces and have loved sharing them with fellow travelers. We absolutely adore this part of the country and hope you will too!
