The only thing between you and the lake home you've always wanted .
. . Logan Martin is one of six Alabama Power Company reservoirs on the Coosa River. The lake has a total of 15,263 acres and is located between Neely Henry Lake to the North and Lay Lake to the South. Logan Martin Lake draws much fishing pressure from Birmingham, Anniston, Talladega and surrounding areas. Logan Martin Lake begins at Neely Henry Dam and stretches 48.5 nautical miles to Logan Martin Dam. The lake has 275 miles of shoreline. The I-20 Bridges sit almost perfectly as the lake’s halfway point. Full Pool is 465.0 Feet. Construction began on Logan Martin in July 1960 and the dam was placed on service August 1964. Pell City, approximately two miles from Logan Martin Lake, is an example of a late nineteenth century mill village. Today about 2-miles west of the I-20 Pell City exit is an old mill. Houses of the original village surround the mill. In the middle twentieth century, owners of mills like this sold these houses to individual owners. The closest site of historical note is Talladega, which is one of the oldest white settlements in the Alabama interior. Pioneers moved here while it was on the boundary line between Creek and Cherokee domains and called the place Border Town. In and around the city, Native American mounds indicate prehistoric occupation of the region over a long period. Fishing Information Logan Martin has two distinct types of habitat, suitable for both spotted and largemouth bass. At the lake's upper end from Neely Henry Dam 20-miles southward, the lake is mostly river. Below that, however, from the Riverside area to Logan Martin Dam, the lake takes on the appearance of a typical reservoir with numerous creeks and sloughs. The shoreline of the lake is extensively developed, with numerous homes and cabins as well as several marinas and campgrounds. At full pool, according to fisheries biologists' reports, the lake is at 465 feet above sea level. During the cooler months, however, between October and April, Alabama Power lowers the lake by 5 feet. Many anglers consider the area above Stemley Bridge as mainly a largemouth habitat and the region below the bridge as primarily holding spotted bass. While this sentiment is partially true because of the differences in the steepness and makeup of the riverbanks, this assumption is not always the case. Both spots and large mouths can be caught from one end of Logan Martin to the other. For all of your financing needs on either a lake lot or an existing lake home on Lake Logan Martin, please call:
