The lake is unique in that it has 39 separate islands. Some of the most popular being Goat Island, Chimney Rock, and Young’s Island. These islands are accessible, and each offer a wide range of activities. If you are looking for a great alternative to water activities, visit Cherokee Ridge Alpine Trail.

Visit Children’s Harbor for camping, adventures, and a real-life lighthouse. This is a place for rest and restoration to families with serious illnesses and special needs. When the facility is not being used, it can be rented for any church, business, or individual events.

For a night on the town, visit The Amphitheater at Lake Martin for live entertainment or grab a bite at one of the many restaurants located on the water. Kowaliga, Niffer’s Place, and The Landing at Parker Creek are highly reviewed choices.
