Sardis Lake, Water reservoir in northern Mississippi, United States.
Sardis Lake is a large reservoir on the Tallahatchie River in northern Mississippi, stretching across several counties in the region. The water body features multiple boat ramps, campgrounds, and fishing areas distributed around its shoreline.
The dam was constructed following the Flood Control Act of 1936 and was the first flood control project for the Yazoo River system. The project was built to protect the region from flooding and manage water flow.
The lake serves as a gathering place where local communities spend time fishing, water sports, and outdoor recreation throughout the year. You will find anglers and boaters along the shores, especially during weekends and fishing tournaments.
Visitors can find multiple boat ramps, camping areas, and fishing spots around the lake, with locations marked on maps at entrance points. It's helpful to check on current conditions and available facilities before your visit.
A special section called Lower Lake was created through dredging operations and covers about 425 acres within the main water body. This area hosts its own recreational facilities and John W. Kyle State Park with dedicated amenities.
