Sardis Lake

 

Midsouth Area Lakes List - Sardis Lake

Sardis Lake is located 50 miles South of Memphis. Head South Down I-55: To go to the North side of the lake; take the Como Exit 258 to go to the slower paced side of the lake where you will find the Holiday Lodge, boat ramps, cabins, small campground area and a small beach. To go to the main damn area, day picnic areas, large beach areas and the main campgrounds; take the Sardis Exit 252 or the Batesville Exit 246. Excellent fishing and swimming area. I've seen the pictures at the Holiday Lodge of the large catches of croppie caught this year.You will enjoy the trip!

Arkabutla Lake
Arkabutla Lake is 30 miles South of Memphis. Take I-55 South to the Hernando Exit 280 or the Coldwater Exit 271 to the lake. While the lake is closer to Memphis, I find that Sardis or Enid are better lakes. The water for swimming or skiing at Arkabutla Lake always seems muddier (dirty) to me. Fishing is ok!

Enid Lake
Enid Lake is only 65 miles from Memphis and offers a day of fun or stay for a week. You'll find good fishing or a lake big enough to put the hammer down on the motor throttle. Water clears later in the summer.
