Lake Lure and Chimney Rock Park!
It's an easy 90 minute drive west/northwest of Charlotte and you can go swimming in Lake Lure to cool off
That looks to be a great suggestion! I am looking for beaches and lakes to visit that offer swimming. I would also like to find places that allow dog and owner swimming. Are dogs allowed at Lake Lure?
Also looking for ideas for a weekend fishing trip.
OP, you can visit Carolina Beach, NC. It is about a 3.5 hour drive from here. Just make sure you get there early to find parking. I went during 4th of July weekend and had a great time!

With this hot weather I recommend that you head towards Sliding_Rock
Looking glass falls is near there and you can swim in that water too.
