Sardis Lake

After the Great Flood of 1927, Sardis Lake, which lies in north-central Mississippi, was initially created. The easy position of Sardis Lake-about an hour from Memphis, Tennessee-is one of its appealing qualities. Although the lake has a surface size of nearly 98,000 acres, its regular pool conditions are substantially smaller, at 32,500 acres, making it technically the third largest lake in the state.

When it comes to the activities offered in Sardis Lake, fishing is at the top of the list. Also very popular are hunting, camping, boating, skiing, swimming, picnicking, and animal viewing. Largemouth bass, spotted bass, blue catfish, channel catfish, flathead catfish, black crappie, white crappie, bluegill, redear sunfish, and white bass are just a few of the fish species that anglers can anticipate to catch at Sardis Lake.

Canadian geese, black duck, mallard, pintail, gadwall, hooded merganser, wood duck, canvasback, and ring-necked ducks are among the birds that can be spotted at Sardis Lake. Bald eagles, white pelicans, Bonaparte's, ring-billed gulls, and herring gulls are a few other bird species that are frequently seen. A wide variety of wildlife, including whitetail deer, bobwhite quail, eastern wild turkey, migrant waterfowl species, rabbit, dove, raccoon, and squirrel, are available for hunting at Sardis Lake.
