While summer may have come to an end, the fall season for Lake Martin is just getting started. Many will be traveling in from Auburn to enjoy home football games while others look to set out on boat cruises before the cooler weather hits and water levels begin to drop.
With the beautiful opportunities Autumn brings, there is no need to rush home on Sunday morning. Lake Martin makes it easy to stretch the weekend a little longer, with September Sundays offering a mix of relaxation and fun. From worship on the water to outdoor adventures, good food and laid-back evenings by the shore, here are a few ways to spend a Sunday at the lake before the workweek begins.
