Families and
outdoor enthusiasts will certainly enjoy Grenada and all
it has to offer from Grenada Lake to the Lofton Archery
Classic and the National Fox Hunt. With nearly 36,000
acres of recreation surface water and 148 miles of shoreline
in the summer, Grenada Lake is the largest body of water
in Mississippi. Boasting
17 boat landings, eight public beaches and camping areas
for primitive and Class A camping, the area is perfect
for swimming, jetskiing, boating and bass and crappie
fishing. Basketball courts, lighted tennis courts, softball
fields, fitness trails, nature/hiking trails and children’s
playgrounds round out the amenities. |

The Grenada
Lake Visitor Center provides
personal assistance to visitors and helps
interpret the Grenada Lake Project which is
operated, maintained and managed by the U.S. Corps of
Engineers, Vicksburg District. The 87,000-acre multiple
use project is managed for flood control, public recreation,
conservation of fish and wildlife and the proper stewardship
of public forests. Formed in 1954 for flood control in
the Yazoo River Basin, Grenada Dam protects
1,209,000 acres against flooding each year. The dam is
earth filled and measures 2.6 miles in length. |
