Fall sunset at Gulf State Park Fishing and Education Pier
Created in 2012 by sculptor Mark Cline for billionaire George Barber, the ‘Lady in the Lake’ is modeled after country singer Sara Evans and actress Catherine Zeta-Jones. She floats in the waters of the marina and is accessible to anyone who wishes to visit. If she was standing on land she would be 108 feet tall!
