Boat ramp view of Lake Martin during a summer storm.
A water wonderland that captures the imagination and allows relaxation to set in. From gators to birds this place is as eery as it is beautiful. A paddlers paridise and a day trippers dream this is a place that makes me excited to call Lafayette Home. You can bet I will continue exploring this place in more details as the weather continues to cool.
