Martin Creek is a stream in Georgia, and is a tributary of the Chestatee River. The creek is approximately long.
Course
Martin Creek rises in western Hall County, in the middle of a peninsula formed by the Chestatee River arm of Lake Lanier to the west, the Chattahoochee River arm of the lake to the east, and State Route 53 to the north. The area contains no other named or unnamed creeks except for Martin Creek.
The creek heads south, then southwest, for approximately 1.2 miles, and flows into the Chestatee River and Lake Lanier just north of the confluence of the Chestatee River and Chattahoochee River arms of the lake, where it merges into the submerged Chestatee River.
