It’s summer and you might be looking for a great getaway vacation. The problem: not enough time, and/or not enough money. Don’t worry Auburn students, Lake Martin is a short 45 minute drive away.

With the picturesque drive in, and the lake levels finally where they should be (Last summer lake levels made the massive lake look like a ghost town from the old Wild West. I think some may have found sunken treasure) why not spend a day at the lake with a few friends.

Going out on the boat, relaxing on floats with friends and being on the water. Name a better day.

Morgan Glusman, a mass communication major, and Christian Becraft, a journalism major, agree that Lake Martin is close, but it doesn’t feel like you are right outside of Auburn.

Christian Becraft says this place is special to her, because it’s where she first learned how to water ski

Glusman says her favorite activity is wakeboarding.

“Even though I wouldn’t say I am very good at it,” she said. “I can get up every now and then, but I can’t do any tricks.”
