Lake Lure Flowering Bridge

This bridge, like many, apparently outlived its usefulness as a conveyance, but was turned into a sort of park. The greenery covering the area is quite robust and a lot of effort clearly went into designing and maintaining it. At one end, a spot for people to hang collars up to memorialize their dogs demonstrates that apparently visitors here like tiny yippy dogs a lot more than I do, but it is still a nice touch.When I visited, they were working on building a visitor center and parking was limited (one end is a separate business whose parking lot is devoted solely to that business as designated by numerous angry signs). However, a water fountain and portapotties were still available.This isn't a place where you'd spend an enormous amount of time, but it is well done and certainly worth a look, and there is no charge to cross.

This is a beautiful stop if in the area. There are multiple varieties of flowers and plants with places to sit and enjoy the beauty. The rainbow bridge in memory of all the lost pets is breathtaking and so sweet to see. There is Free parking at both ends of the bridge

Was so nice. Now it's completely gone due to Hurricane Helene. I'm glad I saw it when I did. Hopefully It can eventually reopen.

Although early in the plant and flowering season the Bridge is nonetheless beautiful, educational, and demonstrative of plants that can be grown in this area. The area is clean, well maintained and free to visit. Our other purpose for visiting was to place the collar of our beloved, Shayna, on the pet memorial, Rainbow bridge. What a sight to behold. Collar upon collar were lovingly resting on a wooden structure honoring pets that have passed. With tears flowing, heavy laden sadness, and eternal unconditional love we placed Shay's collar in a final tribute to this beautiful wonderful companion. Let her spirit roam with her friends in this beautiful flowering paradise.

This is a must stop if in the area! Magical with blooms, fairy houses, painted rocks and a beautiful rainbow bridge. We spent hours here. Meeting people and hearing their stories made it even more memorable and special.

Absolutely stunning! I can't recommend this gorgeous attraction enough. This Foot bridge is blooming with joy, touching your heart with the rainbow bridge, and encouraging your curiosity of new plants. You can view everything from Succulents and lilies, to fairy houses and repurposed wheelbarrows! This attraction is free, but accepts donations, which I gladly gave. If you're in the area stop by and visit this lovely bridge. There's parking on each side of the bridge and even a guest book to sign your name!

We happened to walk down the street and found ourselves intoxicated with this beautiful garden. The aromatic flowers and lovely bridge! What an unexpected treat to our eyes and senses!

We visited during the winter, and we had a fantastic time. We learned so much about different types of plants. And we saw the beautiful winter jasmine and cotoneaster. There are so many beautiful works of art here, too. Even in snow or ice, it would be a lovely place to walk and think.

Beautiful spot in town that should be on your to-do list! It is an old bridge that has been converted into a garden! There are smaller gardens within that have themes ( Mr McGregors Garden and a rainbow bridge garden)as well as many others. Kid and dog friendly! There is parking at either end of the bridge. It's a short walk, but take the time to smell the roses. You'll be glad you did!

Beautiful views and a special experience for sure. Little alcoves of different themes makes the place and I love visiting it
