The Lake Martin area is full of great fun on the water- and on land. We are home to many wonderful hiking trails, and we invite you to come and explore the beauty that awaits on our trails. Whether you are looking to experience the tranquility of nature, stay physically fit, or challenge yourself on one of our more daring trails, we have one that is right for you. Even better, if you hike at least one trail at each of the 8 different trails listed below (excluding James M. Scott Deadening Alpine Trail), you will have the opportunity to earn the patch seen below, a certificate for completing the Lake Martin Hiking Challenge, and a swag bag from our tourism office. Also, scan the QR code to download our app and navigate to the Lake Martin Hiking challenge for more information on the trails. 

Everyone has different physical abilities, so we ask that you do what is right for you.  We want you to get out and experience the diversity of these different trails, while being safe at the same time.  Even if you do a portion of each trail, you can count it on your hiking log.  Once your hiking log is complete, email it to [email protected] or mail it to the Lake Martin Innovation center at 175 Aliant Pkwy Alexander City, AL 35010.

And don’t forget, when out hiking our trails, leave no trace behind except your footsteps!
