All about Martin Lake
Tucked away in central Alabama, Lake Martin’s rugged shores are framed by over 750 miles of untouched forests and rocky cliffs. This artificial lake was once the country’s largest, created when the Martin Dam was constructed on the Tallapoosa River in the 1920s. Climb up to Chimney Rock, a cliff that rises high into the sky, and feel the rush as you take in sweeping views of the sparkling water far down below. Rental boats and kayaks galore sail the tranquil waters, and seasonal Alabama soul food is the perfect way to refuel once you’re back on dry land. Locals from the nearby cities of Birmingham, Montgomery, and Atlanta head here for the area’s many water-based activities, along with laid-back golfing, hiking along local woodland trails, and low-key marina dinners. More adventurous visitors will enjoy high-octane ziplining and waterskiing, while natural sand beaches beckon for relaxed days soaking up the sun.
What are the top things to do in Martin Lake?
Chimney Rock
As one of the lake’s most recognizable landmarks, Chimney Rock is visible from miles away. Jutting straight out from the hills, the commanding views from the top of this peak span the whole lake. Trek through forested trails to reach the summit, then take five and watch boats bob along beneath you.
Wellborn Musclecar Museum
Car enthusiasts, this one’s for you. Make the 30-minute trip to the Wellborn Musclecar Museum in neighboring Alexander City to admire rare American-made cars of the 1960s and 1970s.
Golfing
Lake Martin is a golfers’ paradise, with 38 courses sprawled around the lake. Choose between greens set along the water or nestled against the dense forest, with scenic views to admire while you swing.
