Martha Lake Park has a nice dock into the lake.
Visiting Martha Lake and Larch Way
- I’ve noticed that I am self-conscious around people. There were a few women walking slowly along the main pathway of the park. I waited for a few minutes until they were farther along. They walked slowly.

Lucayan Indians inhabited the Bahama islands when Christopher COLUMBUS first set foot in the New World in 1492. British settlement of the islands began in 1647; the islands became a colony in 1783. Piracy thrived in the 17th and 18th centuries because of The Bahamas’ close proximity to shipping lanes. Since gaining independence from the UK in 1973, The Bahamas has prospered through tourism, international banking, and investment management, which comprise up to 85% of GDP.
