One of the largest State-owned campsites in the United States, Wind Creek is also one of the most scenic. 1,445 acres line Lake Martin, where anglers reel in blue gill and striped bass. The park is bursting with attractions, from 30 miles of wildflower-laden trails to the Mountain Observation Tower, an Amphitheater, Coosa Wildlife Management Area and Horseshoe Bend National Military Park.
Martin Wildlife Park Trail
One of the premier birding trails in the state, this idyllic trail weaves through grass and meadowland, swamps and forests. You'll see bald eagles and great egrets, great blue herons, cormorants and Canada geese, among the gaggle of birds that bustle in these habitats.
Lake Martin Recreation Area
Your outdoor adventure begins here. Fish amidst some of the most scenic views on the lake, and put your catch straight on the grill. There's a marina where you can take boats out on the crystal water, a kayak and canoe launch, and a recreation which kids will love running around.
