| <font color="scarlet" face="garamond" size="6">Lake of A Thousand Coves</font> </p> | |
| <p>Logan Martin Lake’s 275 mile shoreline is one of Pell City’s most exciting | |
| features. “It’s two lakes really,” explains a conservation officer familiar | |
| with the area. There is the broad lake with many homes, like a big subdivision with plenty | |
| of area for water sports. When the Coosa River narrows the scenic setting where eagles and | |
| ospreys soar and deer come to the shore for a drink, trees bend shading branches into the | |
| lake, a place for solitude and communing with nature. </p> | |
| <p>Two hundred seventy-five miles of shoreline offers hundreds of coves to fit every mood | |
| and activity. Take your choice of shady, sunny, fishing, skiing, or wading. There are | |
| sailing clubs and several ski clubs. The shoreline is dotted with marinas, bait shops, | |
| boat and motor rentals and nearby there are marine stores, motels, and restaurants | |
| conveniently located. </p> | |
| <p>Full time residents are a large part of the lake’s population living in a variety | |
| of homes from cabins to magnificent estate homes and everything in between. Many are | |
| professional people who must work in an urban area but prefer to make the short drive and | |
| see the sunset over the lake. In winter they relish the quiet, the cry of a loon, | |
| migrating ducks, or the solitary blue heron fishing. During the summer, visitors and | |
| vacationers transform the lake into a resort. As soon as school is out the population | |
| soars and the lake sizzles with water skiers and boating fun. Retirees have also | |
| discovered this lake and find that with the services, shopping, and medical facilities in | |
| Pell City close by this ‘country living in the city limits’ is the perfect | |
| retirement area. </p> | |

| <h2>Fishing and Hunting</h2> | |
| <p><img src="images/fishing.jpg" align="left" WIDTH="368" HEIGHT="224">This is a | |
| sportsman’s paradise with 18,000 acres for fishing. Fishermen learn that there are | |
| actually two different lakes. During summertime’s full pool there is plenty of deep | |
| cool water where the prize winning bass swim. In winter a five foot draw-down reveals | |
| islands and shoreline creating a whole new fishing challenge. </p> | |
| <p>Duck, quail, dove and deer are found on several thousand acres of open permit land for | |
| hunting. Numerous private hunting clubs have a place for just about any aspiring hunter. </p> | |

| <h3>Bass Masters Classic</h3> | |
| <p>You know the fishing is excellent when the world’s best choose to gather here. | |
| This “Super Bowl” of fishing has selected Logan Martin for several years, the | |
| finest compliment a fishing area can receive. <br clear="all"> | |

| <p><img src="images/park.jpg" align="right" WIDTH="320" HEIGHT="207"> Pell City’s | |
| Lakeside Park makes the lake accessible for every citizen, resident or not. The lake | |
| breezes cool tennis courts and ball fields. </p> | |
| <p>In many towns you might hear someone say “Let’s drive to the lake for the | |
| weekend!” In Pell City you might hear, “Let’s go to the lake for a few | |
| minutes, for our lunch break, for the afternoon.” It’s right around the corner. <br | |
