Lake Martin was formed when Martin Dam was built on the Tallapoosa River in the 1920's to provide

flood control and hydro-electrical power.  Conveniently located in east central Alabama, Lake Martin

has approximately 44,000 acres and 750 miles of beautiful shoreline offering family fun, boating,

sailing, skiing,  fishing, investment opportunities, retirement living and a relaxing get-a-way for all.

 The Lake Martin area also offers the perfect setting to enjoy golf on one of the local courses or on one

of the many Robert Trent Jones Golf Courses that are located nearby.  Crowded only by trees and

wildlife, Lake Martin is often referred to as the South's "best kept secret".  The Lake Martin area has

 been consistently rated as one of the best and most affordable retirement places in the nation.

 Lake Martin is host to many special events during the year including an annual jazz festival in

Alexander City,  fireworks over Lake Martin on the Fourth of July, Bass-Masters and Pro-Am

 fishing tournaments just to name a few.  Celebrate your active lifestyle

or just relax and enjoy the beauty of Lake Martin.

Come and visit to join the fun!
