The tranquil surface of Lake Martin can be deceiving. While the water is often thought of as a constant, the annual drawdown to its winter pool transforms the lake, revealing a landscape of hidden dangers.

As the water drops a significant 7 feet during the off-season, a network of shallows, stumps, rocks and debris creep toward the surface, turning familiar boating channels into what could be a navigation nightmare – especially after the sun goes down.
