Columbus Lake

One ò the best lakes to visit in Mississippi-Columbus Lake, located in northeastern Mississippi, is the largest reservoir along the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway. A forty-four thousand acre series of lakes known as the Tenn-Tom was constructed largely to enable commercial water transportation. Water sports like water skiing, tubing, boating, and fishing are quite popular at Columbus Lake.

Columbus Lake is frequently referred regarded as "Mississippi's Crappie Hotspot" because of the abundance of crappies there. The waters of Columbus Lake are home to numerous additional fish species, such as spotted bass, blue catfish, and largemouth bass. Smallmouth bass, walleye, catfish, carp, bluegill, and sunfish are additional fish species that can be found in Columbus Lake, though in less quantity.

Columbus Lake's Dewayne Hayes Campground provides full-service camping as well as play areas, hiking paths, multi-use courts, picnic spots, and educational activities. There are many services available at Columbus Marina at Columbus Lake, including WiFi, a boat ramp with launching service, and on-site laundry. Visitors to the lake can also benefit from Columbus, Mississippi, which is close by and has many historic sites and antique shops.
