Hurricane Helene: Thankfully, this home and surrounding resort area were mostly spared by the hurricane and we are so grateful and very eager for visitors to return to enjoy the unique beauty of the Hickory Nut Gorge. Great news that the main lake will be open again for recreational boating, swimming, and fishing in spring of 2026. The Army Corp of Engineers extensive efforts have removed over 1.2 million sq yards of vast debris and sediment deposited during flooding that occurred on Sept 27, 2024. As a result, the lake is going to be cleaner than it has ever been! The beach at Rumbling Bald is open now on one side with playground, pavilion, grassy field, and sandy beach for tanning. The other side will be open again with cabana in May, 2026. Chimney Rock State Park is open and many businesses. The people of this area depend on and are desperate for tourism to return to this beautiful mountain town so please book and help support our recovery. There are other small lakes in the resort available now for fishing. Reach out to property manager for info and updates.
