LAKE MARTIN, AL (WSFA)- If you're headed to the lake anytime soon...beware.

Where you take your boat and how you drive it could mean the difference between life and death.

A new campaign encourages drivers to watch their wake.

"It's very dangerous because the fact they don't know the damage that their wake can cause," says Lake Martin resident, Larry Tuggle.

The Lake Martin Resource Association (LMRA) took demonstrated what happens when a boat passes through a quaint cove at warp speed.

The wake sends water slamming into the dock, nearby boats, and even the shoreline.

"We probably get more calls, more complaints about it than anything else," says John Thompson, President of LMRA.

Strong wakes are not only damaging to private property but they're a public safety issue, too.
