Lake Martin, Reservoir in Tallapoosa, Elmore and Coosa counties, Alabama.
Lake Martin extends across 41,150 acres with 880 miles of shoreline, reaching depths of 150 feet in sections of the former Tallapoosa River gorge.
The construction of Martin Dam between 1923 and 1926 created what was then the largest artificial water body in the world.
The Alexander City Jazz Festival takes place each June at Lake Martin, bringing together musicians and audiences for summer performances.
The reservoir provides opportunities for swimming, boating, fishing, waterskiing, camping, and golfing throughout multiple access points along the shoreline.
Chimney Rock formation stands 60 feet above the water surface, marking a gathering location for thousands of lake visitors each season.
