About Lake Martin

 

Known as  Lake Tahoe of the South,  Lake Martin is  located on

the  southern edge of the Appalachian Mountains.

Lake Martin is a pristine, clear water lake with 

emerald green/blue water rivaling the Caribbean.  Lake Martin's

45,000 acres is the Crown Jewel of  Southeastern 

USA Lakes, and for that matter, it may well be the Crown Jewel

of all lakes. With approx. 850 miles of shoreline,  and over 80 islands to

explore, Lake Martin provides the ultimate playground for water activities

of all kinds. The shore line distance is approx. the same as the coastline

distance  from New Orleans to Miami.  The mild climate  at Lake Martin 

makes it perfect for year round use. It is the perfect lake for sailing  and all

types of water sports.  In 2010, Lake Martin was named a Treasured Lake by

Governor Bob Riley.
