Lake Lure, North Carolina Speed Traps

The only straight stretch of Road traveling East on Hwy 64/74 past Larkin’s on the Lake is about ½ of a mile long and the officer sits in the Fire Dept parking lot at the end. Most people exceed the 35 mph limit just because it is the only straight stretch of road after 2 miles of mountainous curves. Lots of tourist get caught here.

Just east of the restaurant "Larkins on the Lake", officers park unseen in a wooded area. Speed limit is 35mph, easily exceeded if not constantly on brakes descending hill.
