Goat Island, just north of Martin Dam, has been the home to a family of goats for as long as most lake dwellers can remember. With every cruise by the island you can get a glimpse of the bearded island inhabitants. To get an even better look at the goats, rumor has it, that they never refuse a handout of fruits and lettuce from friendly boaters.

Chimney Rock/Acapulco Rock, are two of the most famous island names and popular stopping points on the lake. Since the very birth of the lake brave divers have been plunging into the deepest part of the lake, from the many different shelf-like ledges Chimney Rock and Acapulco Rock have to offer. If you dare, take the plunge!.

Graveyard Island, is one of the smallest islands on the lake and it is also one of the oldest graveyards in the Lake Martin area. The island graveyard is the final resting place for Ray Simeons buried on July 7, 1888 at only 41/2 years old and Mollie Dennis buried in the 1920's. She was one of the last to be buried in the cemetery because the lake was completed just a short time after death. Upon the completion of the dams that created the lake, their final resting place became Graveyard Island when Lake Martin was filled.
