Hiking
In central Alabama, Lake Martin stretches across three counties and draws people in with its winding shoreline and clear water. Built in the 1920s after Martin Dam was completed, it quickly became a local favorite for boating, fishing, and lazy summer days. The lake is dotted with quirky islands—like Goat Island and Chimney Rock—and surrounded by small towns and wooded hills.
