YOUR INSIDER’S GUIDE TO EASTER AT LAKE MARTIN
It’s a perfect time of year for a weekend getaway at the lake—the water is up, the trees are green with new leaves and flowers are starting to put on a show! This weekend we celebrate Easter and it’s one of our favorite times to be out and about on Lake Martin. We’re here to help you make the most of Easter weekend at the lake!
From goodies for Easter baskets to fun spring dresses to brunch spots, here’s your insider’s guide to Easter in true Lake Martin Style!
Where to worship Easter morning?
Worshipping Easter morning takes on a new meaning when you visit the Church in the Pines, a lakeside outdoor chapel that you can access by car or boat. With nature’s beauty surrounding you, it’s a transcendent way to spend Easter morning. The service on April 9 begins at 9am with a sermon by Dr. Tim Thompson and music by Jamie Henderson. Church in the Pines is located at 200 Kowaliga Marina Road, Eclectic Ala.
For those early risers out there, Church of the Living Waters at Stillwaters will host its SONRise Service at 6:30am. Dr. Thompson also be leading this service in the beautiful open air chapel located at 782 Lakeview Ridge Cir, Dadeville, Ala.
Did you say brunch?
At Anchor Bay Marina, The Social at Lake Martin is the coolest spot for casual brunch with cocktails and live music—bushwhackers are a must! You can drive or boat to the Social located at 2001 Castaway Island Rd, Eclectic, Ala.
If you’re looking for a more traditional style Sunday brunch, Copper’s Bar and Grill at Stillwaters is the place to go. The brunch menu is unbeatable and there’s great indoor and outdoor seating—all instilled with the casual vibe you expect at the lake. Copper’s is located at 797 Moonbrook Dr, Dadeville, Ala.
For a fine dining experience, SpringHouse is unrivaled at Lake Martin. Showcasing the best in seasonal fare, the brunch menu is superb and the ambiance somehow perfectly marries elegance with rustic lake touches! Make your reservation now!

Everything is uber laid back at Lake Martin and that includes Easter attire! We love the fun, flirty dresses at Ellaby Boutique and Cloud Nine. The colors are teed up for spring and feature flowing designs that embrace the relaxed lifestyle we live when we’re on lake time! Ellaby is located at 126 N Broadnax Street Dadeville, Ala., and Cloud Nine is at 26 Main St Alexander City, Ala.
