Logan Martin Lake is located in east central Alabama on the Coosa River approximately 30 miles east of Birmingham, Alabama that is located in and around such cities as Pell City, Cropwell, and Riverside and in St. Clair County. It also includes such towns as Lincoln and Talladega. This 17,000 acre Coosa River reservoir was built in 1965 by Alabama Power Company. The lake, nicknamed Lake of a Thousand Coves by locals, has 275 miles of shoreline along its 48.5 mile length sandwiched between Logan Martin Dam on the south and Neely Henry Dam on the north. The depth of the lake is 35 to 110 feet with only five feet average water level variance which makes your property useful all year long.

Hydrology
Logan Martin Lake begins at the discharge of H. Neely Henry Dam near Ohatchee, Alabama (near the site of former Coosa River Lock 3)[ and extends south to Logan Martin Dam near Vincent, Alabama. The Coosa River is the primary inflow for the lake, numerous smaller streams also from into the lake. Prevailing flow is from the north to the south along a meandering course. The Coosa River arises in the Appalachian Mountains and its waters, and those of Logan Martin Lake, eventually discharge into Mobile Bay and the Gulf of Mexico through the Alabama River and Mobile River. The Lake is largely a run-of-the-river reservoir through its upper reaches. From the location of Lock 4 to the I-20 bridge, the river expands, but is still largely confined to the original course of the Coosa River and the immediate mouths of tributary streams rather than spreading over the floodplain like a typical reservoir. From the I-20 bridge in the Riverside area to the Logan Martin Dam (approximately 23 miles), the lake expands to a width much greater than the original river channel, with large areas of open water and many medium to large sized sloughs and creeks. The maximum depth at the dam is 69 feet.
Geology
Logan Martin Lake is situated in the Northern Piedmont Physiographic Province of Alabama[, characterized by generally low ridges at the very southern reach of the Appalachian Mountains. The reservoir lies primarily within the Ordovician Knox Group (OCk).
Natural History
Numerous aquatic species make their home in Logan Martin Lake with game and non-game fish being the dominant interest for human use. Numerous local and national fishing tournaments are held on the lake annually, the lake has also hosted championship events of the FLW Outdoors Tour and the Bassmaster Classic in 1992, 1993, and 1997. Large numbers of both largemouth and spotted bass inhabit the lake, as well as striped bass, white bass, hybrid bass, crappie, catfish (mostly of the channel variety), bream, drum, carp, and gar.

History
The Coosa River was long used for steamship navigation as far north as Rome, Georgia. An extensive series of locks allowed passage along shoals and ledges in the river. After steamships were replaced by roads and railroads, the site of proposed Lock 7was selected for a large dam to provide hydropower, flood control, and recreation. Construction started on the gravity concrete and earth fill dam July 18, 1960 and it was placed in service August 10, 1964. Logan Martin Dam is named after William Logan Martin, Jr., a judge and Attorney General in Alabama in the early 20th century.
Economy
Logan Martin Lake contributes millions of dollars annually to the communities surrounding the lake in the form of increased property values, expenditures by recreational visitors at local businesses, and low-cost hydropower for the state. Its proximity to the large population center of Birmingham leads to heavy use by recreational boaters during the summer. The vast majority of the boat traffic is between I-20 and Logan Martin Dam, with the traffic increasing in the more open areas surrounding the Logan Martin Dam.
The area is in a growth stage, with several new home communities like The Yacht Club on Lake Logan Martin, horizons, and Lincoln Harbor. These growing counties have so far retained their rural roots which is appealing to newcomers. Pell City is both an artist�s colony and a haven for antique collectors with its numerous shops and stores. Located on Lake Logan Martin, Pell City is a popular attraction for fishermen. Lincoln is home to the Honda Plant and Talladega has the NASCAR Track. Information from Wikipedia

Finding a good neighborhood
Anyone will tell you that buying a home in a good neighborhood is essential. But what things go into making one neighborhood more desirable than another? Aside from an intangible feeling about a place, there are a number of qualities that set some neighborhoods apart, such as:
- Good public schools nearby.
- Well-maintained homes and clean public areas.
- Close proximity to good shopping.
- Public facilities like parks and community centers.
Doing thorough neigborhood research is critical if you truly want your home to fit your needs. Here are some basic strategies:
Call City Hall
You may like an area now, but you could feel differently if a football stadium or six-lane highway will be your future neighbor. Check with local officials on the zoning of neighborhoods and the likelihood of any substantial public projects. Large projects such as major road construction are planned years in advance.
Resale Potential
Though appreciation can be an impossible thing to predict, it's good to at least try to determine a home's resale potential. Slow selling homes may just be a function of the current market, but they could also indicate problems (or perceived problems) with the neighborhood that could affect resale. Check for any information on new industries or companies moving to the area in the future that could lead to housing demand later.
Do the Footwork
Probably the most important step in researching neighborhoods is to get a first-hand look. Talk to residents, visit local schools, businesses, and parks, and get to know your way around. If you plan on using public transportation, see what options are available. Be sure to visit the neighborhood at several different times of day. Three quick ways to scope out a neighborhood:
- Eat at local restaurants (non-chains) to get a feel for the people.
- Attend a community meeting.
- Read the community newspaper for at least a week.
In the end your impression of a neighborhood will largely be an emotional reaction. By researching the facts and future of a given neighborhood, you'll ensure that your hunches are well informed.

Lake cleanup a resounding success
Volunteers were greeted with beautiful weather Saturday, as they gathered at one of six collection sites to pick up gloves and special trash collection bags. They then went out to pick up trash along the shorelines and from the waterways of Logan Martin Lake.
At noon, they were treated to a special lunch of barbecue and hotdogs, chips, and drinks donated for the annual cleanup picnic at Lakeside Landing.
“We had a good number of volunteers our here Saturday,” said Bud Kitchin, chair of the annual LMLPA lake cleanup.
The LMLPA lake cleanup was March 30-April 4. It is part of the Alabama Power Company “Renew Our Rivers” program, which involves thousands of volunteers and takes place on many lakes in Alabama and the southeast.
“We won’t know how much trash was collected until the dumpsters are picked up and the trash weighed at the landfill,” Kitchin said.
He said volunteers filled, or nearly filled, approximately eight dumpsters with lake trash.
“The pontoon boat participation this year was at an all-time high,” Kitchin said.
Kitchin said he believes because the lake water level was higher this year than in previous years for the cleanup, it allowed more volunteers to put their boats in the water to assist with the cleanup.
“It was a beautiful day, and people wanted to get out and make a difference,” he said.
Kitchin said the higher water level allowed volunteers to clear out a number of large trash objects including a box freezer, barrels, hot water heaters, misplaced docks, and numerous other items.
“We pulled out a good many tires as well,” he said. About Elsie Hodnett
