Dear LMRA Members,

LMRA has been working hard for the betterment of Lake Martin for more than fifty years, and we approach this new year stronger and more committed than ever. When Ben Russell started LMRA in the early 70s, he was primarily focused on stabilizing lake levels and crime prevention. While these are still concerns in 2022, they are not our primary focus. The huge growth in boating activity increases our concern about boating safety, shoreline erosion and litter—both on the shoreline and adjacent roadsides. The continuing population growth of our neighboring state will always represent a threat to both water quantity and water quality, and we must remain vigilant as possible threats arise.
