August Member of the Month: Lithia Springs Marina


Where Lake Days Begin, and Memories Stay Forever

Just off the gently winding road into Lithia Springs Recreation Area, tucked between tree-lined bluffs and sparkling shoreline, sits a Shelbyville icon: Lithia Springs Marina.


This full-service marina is more than just a place to tie up your boat—it’s a cornerstone of lake life and a peaceful escape for locals and visitors alike. Whether you’re chasing summer adventure or searching for a slower pace, Lithia Springs Marina offers the best of both worlds.


The Full Lake Life Experience

From boat rentals to seasonal slips, fuel services, and marine repairs, Lithia Springs Marina takes care of everything so you can focus on what really matters: soaking up the sunshine and making memories.

Need a boat for the day? They’ve got you covered. Just need a cone and a quiet place to watch the water? They have that, too. (And trust us—the ice cream hits different when you’re standing on the dock at golden hour.)

Oh, and if you’re planning your lake trip midweek? You’re in luck—Monday through Thursday boat rentals are discounted, making weekday getaways easier than ever.


Relax. Refuel. Repeat.

At the heart of the marina sits the Ship’s Store, stocked with essentials, snacks, and of course, ice cream. It’s the perfect spot to gear up or wind down.

And just next door? Nessie’s, the on-site restaurant where you can grab a bite, sip something cold, and enjoy live local music all August long. With an open-air patio and a welcoming, laid-back vibe, Nessie’s has become a favorite gathering place on the lake.

Nature All Around

Part of what makes Lithia Springs Marina so special is its setting. Surrounded by wildlife, the marina is a natural retreat—where it’s not uncommon to spot herons gliding low over the water or deer grazing just beyond the treeline. Every visit is a reminder of why so many fall in love with Lake Shelbyville.


As we celebrate Lithia Springs Marina as our August Member of the Month, we want to thank them for being more than a marina—they’re a local gem that truly elevates the lake experience. From their service and hospitality to the vibrant, welcoming community they create, they make Shelbyville shine a little brighter.
