According to estimates by the power company and local chambers, etc., Lake Martin's shoreline is only 30% developed. So that leaves 539 open miles of shoreline, so even on so called "busy" days, Lake Martin is no where near the congestion of other lakes. That's why everyone loves it.
I am regularly in my boat during the week in the summer. I might drive from, say, Anchor Bay Marina all the way to the River Bridge and see 4 other boats. That's pretty typical. After Labor Day or before Memorial Day, knock that number down to 2.
For a real perspective on boat traffic, talk to someone like Jackson Dozier, who is the TowBoat US Lake Martin representative. He is on the water more days than anyone on this forum, with the possible exception of the Marine Police.
