About This Trail

Wind Creek State Park on Lake Martin offers the longest shoreline of any state park in the United States, with trails winding through rolling pine and hardwood forest along the lake’s edge. The Lakeshore Trail provides frequent views of the lake’s sparkling waters, quiet coves, and distant shorelines. The gentle terrain makes this suitable for families seeking a relaxed lakeside stroll, while the trail’s length offers options for longer explorations. Lake Martin’s clear waters support excellent fishing, and the park’s facilities include a marina, beaches, and campgrounds. Spring brings dogwood and redbud blooms to the understory, while autumn colors reflect beautifully in the calm lake waters.
