As the end of March approaches, Lake magazine and the community will have the bittersweet honor of bidding farewell to one of our area’s most beloved icons.

For more than a decade, the pages of Lake magazine have come alive with heartwarming stories that have captured the pure essence of Lake Martin, showcasing the vibrant community culture and inspiring individuals who have helped shape the lake we know today. And typing away at the keyboard, making all the behind-the-scenes magic transpire, has been Lake magazine Editor-in-Chief Betsy Iler.
