Only an hour from Greenville, SC is a true labor of love and beauty at the Lake Lure Flowering Bridge (where “Dirty Dancing” was filmed). We tell you all about it, including the beautiful Rainbow Bridge in NC dedicated to pets who have passed on, and other things to do in this area of the North Carolina mountains.
UPDATE SEPTEMBER 2, 2025: Due to Hurricane Helene in September 2024, the Flowering Bridge has been absolutely wiped out and destroyed. What was left of the bridge was demolished by the town. We will update this story when we know what the volunteers at the Flowering Bridge have planned for the future.
Hearing about how amazing something is and going to see it are two different things. I had no idea how incredible the Flowering Bridge really was until I saw this enchanted mountain wonderland for myself. A stop makes for an awesome Blue Ridge Mountains day trip – don’t worry, I will give you lots of ideas on what to do there.
