Grenada Lake, Flood control reservoir in northern Mississippi, United States
Grenada Lake is a reservoir in northern Mississippi created by damming the Yalobusha River. The lake provides a large water surface with an extensive shoreline that supports recreational activities and fishing throughout the year.
The US Army Corps of Engineers built this reservoir in the 1950s to prevent flooding in the region. The project was a direct response to devastating flood events from earlier decades that had caused widespread damage.
The Hugh White State Park near Grenada Lake maintains twelve duplex cabins where families gather for outdoor activities throughout the year.
The shoreline offers good access to the water with several public boat ramps and picnic areas available. Water levels fluctuate seasonally depending on flood management needs, which affects where you can access the lake.
The water level drops significantly during maintenance periods, concentrating fish in deeper areas and dramatically changing the landscape. This creates very different scenes depending on when you visit the lake.
