Geocache Description:

30 March 2024, 09:00 - 11:00

Looks like the weather is going to be great for a CITO!!! Every year Lake Logan Martin has a "Clean the Lake Day". This is done at this time of the year because the lake water is down between 3-4 feet. It is easier to pick up the trash along the lake shore. We also want to pick it up before the Spring flood waters carry it down stream. 

This park has lots to offer. Fishing docks, playground, swimming area, numerous trails and, of course, the "Red Neck Riviera", where you will find the floating Red Neck Yacht Club on the weekends during the summer months! laugh There is always a beautiful view of the lake, no matter what the weather is doing!!!

We will meet in the lower parking lot at 0900 and will gather as much trash as possible until 1100. ** No need to bring anything but yourself! Logan Martin Lake Protection Organization has donated everything we need for a successful CITO! Including a nice tshirt!!!  I will have water, bags, treats and hand wipes.

A great suggestion from Scoutmom is to bring a lunch! If you plan to stay in the area and you don't bring a sack lunch, there is a convenience store called The Dam Store on The Dam Road (about 1 mile away) that has burgers, chicken fingers, pizza, BBQ sandwiches and cheesesteak sandwiches (all are really good). There is a Texaco station in Pell City (20 minutes away) that has the best BBQ around! Pell City also has City Market that is all you can eat. And of course, the usual fast food, there is a Jack's, Burger King and Popeye's about 10 minutes away in Harpersville. But if you want local fare and want to sit down and have a nice relaxing lunch while overlooking the lake, Pier 59 and The Back Porch are my favorites. Both are nearby.

Logan Martin is a 17,000-acre lake that was built in 1965 by Alabama Power. It has 275 miles of shoreline and a length of 48.5-mile from Logan Martin Dam on the south and Neely Henry Dam to the north. The depth of the lake is 35 to 110 feet. It is a popular lake for fishing tournaments, sailing and pleasure boating for skiers and sunset seekers. Many Canadian geese, sea gulls and pelicans migrate here in the Winter where they find the fish plentiful and safe waters until they head back North for the Summer. In the Summer months, the lake is full of families enjoying the cool water along with numerous water activities.
