Wetumpka Attractions
Wetumpka was an important cotton shipping point but with improved modes of transportation much of the town's trade shifted to Montgomery, thus ruining the town's chances for state capital.
Wetumpka is known as "The City of Natural Beauty", this stems from nearby Lake Martin, one of the world's largest man-made lakes and Lake Jordan. These lakes attract boating and fishing enthusiasts. The nature trails are perfect for outdoor recreation.
