Sardis-Lake
is located in northwest Mississippi on the Little Tallahatchie River. It lies within Lafayette, Panola and Marshall Counties about nine miles southeast of the town of Sardis. Sardis Lake is only an hour's drive from Memphis, Tennessee. The 98,520-acre reservoir is impounded by Sardis Dam, which is 15,300 feet long and 117 feet at its maximum height. It was the first of the Yazoo River headwaters projects to be built when President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Flood Control Act of 1936. Construction of the dam took four years and thousands of men to clear the fourteen miles along the Little Tallahatchie River, which was filled with dense woods and undergrowth. The "Lower Lake" is on the downstream side of the dam and contains numerous recreational spots, including John W. Kyle State Park. The Lower Lake is 425 acres in size. Sardis Lake is popular with anglers and has a reputation for its abundant bass and crappie. Other activities at the lake include camping, boating, skiing, swimming and picnicking. The camping area has 200 campsites and 20 cabins. John W. Kyle State Park also has a visitors center and an 18-hole regulation golf course.
