A decision to film The Last of the Mohicans in the area after the production team decided landscape in New York wasn't dramatic enough resulted in a loin-clothed Daniel Day Lewis running up and down the hills surrounding the lake. The famous lake scenes in Dirty Dancing were also shot on Lake Lure.
