We found the Lady a little hard to find. There is now a fence around the marina, set quite a distance away from her. From the fence, you can only get a bit of a view of the back of her head, past the many boats docked there. The fence has a gate marked "Authorized Personnel Only," so we were not able to get close to her at first. We stood at the gate taking pictures, when someone inside waved us in. Figuring he was "authorized," we walked in and were then able to get right up to her.

Floating in the Barber Marina is the Lady of the Lake - an amazing gigantic sculpture.
[Carolyn Earle, 02/27/2015]The Lady is still in dry dock as of June 27th, 2014. They were not sure when she would be returned to the water.
[Ho, 07/02/2014]The Lady is a giant woman built by fiberglass artist Mark Cline, designed to float half-submerged in the nearest large body of water.
We went in March, so she wasn't back in the water yet. We found her in the boatyard of the marina though!

Be sure to stop and look at the BIG spider when you stop. It is by the Marina building.
