Activities
 Lake time is here! Lots of fun stuff to do in April!
Springtime has pounced on us at Lake Martin. We're surrounded by dogwoods and the fresh greens of spring leaves. The warm weather also brings with it many fun activities at Russell Lands On Lake Martin.
Women on Lake Martin Boating Class
Saturday, April 7, 9am-12pm or 1-4pm
River North Marina
FREE!
Ladies, have you ever wanted to learn to operate a boat on Lake Martin, or tell your husband the right way to do it? Now you have the chance! Russell Marine and the Alabama Marine Police are teaming up on Saturday, April 7, to once again present the Women on Lake Martin boating class. This free course will be held at River North Marina and features a combination of classroom time and hands-on instruction on the lake.
Presented by the Alabama Marine Police, classroom content will focus on safety, right-of-way and boating laws. Then attendees will move outside for the hands-on portion, including “pre-start” checks, safe on-water operation and docking. Hands-on instruction will be performed by the boating experts of Russell Marine and Lake Martin Resource Association. It’s certain to be a fun morning, or afternoon, of learning and confidence building. You don’t even need your own boat, but if you want to get comfortable with yours, it is welcome.
The course is free, but currently booked up. To get on the waiting list, please email Doug Hamrick of Russell Marine’s River North Marina at [email protected], or give him a call at 256.397.1500.
