Celebrate the clean water of Lake Martin and the entire Tallapoosa River watershed

Lake Watch of Lake Martin, Inc., works as an affiliate of the Alabama Water Watch statewide organization to recruit and train volunteer monitors, who provide chemical and bacteriological water quality testing at sites across Lake Martin and in the river and streams throughout the middle Tallapoosa River watershed. Lake Watch volunteer monitors post the testing results to the Lake Watch Swim Alert webpage and to the AWW statewide database. Our testing in 2023 confirms excellent water quality throughout Lake Martin, as befits our “Treasured Alabama Lake” status.
