Top 5 Reasons To Love Russell Lands On Lake Martin This Fall

While most folks know summer is the best time to be at Russell Lands On Lake Martin, we’d argue that fall places a close second. Here’s why:

5. No crowds
   Lake Martin is an expansive lake. Although the abundance of summertime visitors and boating enthusiasts can make it feel a lot busier on some weekends, you’ll still enjoy a largely undeveloped and pristine paradise Hop on the boat during the fall, and you’ll enjoy the fine weather and scenery – with a sense that you have the whole place to yourself.

4. Spectacular weather
   Fall on Lake Martin means blue skies, bright sunshine, crisp mornings, warm afternoons and cool evenings. Basically, the perfect weather for hiking, biking, boating and whatever else you can dream up.

3. Beautiful foliage
   Each fall, Russell Forest trades its lush green tones for shades of pumpkin, yellow and deep crimson. Whether you’re enjoying endless miles on the forest trails or taking in the vibrant colors from the water, you’ll be awed and inspired by the beauty of fall on the lake.

   2. Come on in, the water’s fine!
   We promise. After a long, hot summer, the water in the lake retains enough heat to stay enjoyable for the entire fall season. So suit up, grab the wakeboard and let’s go!

1. Fall Family Festival
   Our annual autumnal celebration brings family and friends together for a day full of fun — from pie and canning contests to building your own scarecrow, a scavenger hunt, face painting, hayrides, bobbing for apples, hotdogs, popcorn and much more.
