I have friends visiting from Ga and would liek to send them to the Gold Mines off 34 in Sandy Creek area. If anyone knows how to get there via boat that would be great. I wish you could take a google map and place markers on interesting areas and email to friends that could use navigator to take them to each marked point. That would be so cool. Then we could have something to pass along to our out of town guest and visitors of Lake Martin.

Any ideas?

If you are a Lake Watch member you would have just received an updated copy of Lake Martin Watershed. There is a points of interest map with places to visit, one of them is the abandoned gold mines, New Site near Horseshoe Bend, Devil's Backbone near the dam, Hog Mountain and Goldville.There is also a book called "Jewel of the South- Lake Martin", which talks about the history of gold mining. Good Luck!
