If you recall, in 2007 by June we really had a pretty good idea that we were in for a miserable drought. I would have thought that meant June 07 waterfront sales would be a lot lower than 2008 (drought tempered). But I was wrong. The year to date (1 comments)

Lots of people enjoy Lake Martin by taking their RV to or camping in Wind Creek State Park. It has lots of sites on the waterfront, and is really a pretty park.

Saturday May 17 you will have another chance to tour some really nice homes in Trillium on Lake Martin while benefiting the Children's Harbor.
