Top 5 Places to Spend New Year’s at Lake Martin

1. The most convenient: North Lake Condo, Unit S1: Just before you cross the River Bridge, aka the 280 Bridge, on the North end of Lake Martin, a 3 bed/2 bath main-level condo is ready to rent!

Located less than 10 minutes from downtown Alex City, you can have your cake (Lake Martin waterfront) and eat it too (Alex City’s Arts and Entertainment District) (Alex City Chamber of Commerce)

2. The most festive: Copper’s Grill, 797 Moonbrook Drive, Dadeville AL, 36853. Inside the gates of StillWaters resort, experience big music, delicious dining, and “a Country Club Atmosphere, with Lake Living Attitude”! (Copper's Grill Video)

3. The windiest: Wind Creek State Park and Campground, 4325 Hwy 128, Alex City, AL 35010. Bring your RV! Pop a tent lakeside! Cozy up in a waterfront cabin!

Will Quick, Park Ranger, tells us Holiday base rates begin at $24.20. Central Alabama weather is always a guess for January 1, so pack a bathing suit AND a parka!

4. The most accommodating: Creekside Lodge, 6993 Hwy 49 S, Dadeville, AL 36853. A mere non-high-heeled jaunt from Blue Creek’s (Niffer’s at the Lake Bar and Grill), and across from Marina Bay Condo Association, this waterfront Lodge boasts a two-story stone fireplace, cabin décor and steaming hot coffee in the morning. Save room for lunch at Oskar’s Café.

Nightly rates range from $115 to $259 + tax.

Ask for the “Paige Patterson” discount.

5. The Fanciest: Here is your “restful escape” in the Real Island area of Lake Martin. This luxurious lake home, designed by the one-and-only Jan Ware of JanWareDesigns.com in Mountain Brook, AL will hug you and your crew from the moment you appear.

Warning: you will want to spend most of 2018 here!
