Sardis Lake

A closer look at Sardis Lake

On the map, Sardis Lake is centered near 34.4089, -89.7958. Outflow feeds the Little Tallahatchie River. The surface sits around 256 feet above sea level.

Sardis Lake has no public water level gauge that we can read, so there is no level chart here. An invented number would be worse than none. For a lake this size, the park office is the fastest way to learn how the water sits today.

Nearby water includes Enid Lake (Mississippi, 19 mi), Arkabutla Lake (Mississippi, 31 mi) and Grenada Lake (Mississippi, 41 mi). In all, 11 lakes in Mississippi are covered here.

The shoreline of Sardis Lake has 1 named swimming spot and 16 public recreation areas in the datasets we read. These come from USGS GNIS. Among them are Lower Lake Beach. Recreation areas nearby include Cypress Point, Beach Point and Engineers Point. None is staffed by a lifeguard unless the managing agency posts one.

No public sensor reports water temperature at Sardis Lake, so the panel shows air temperature and wind. Swimming season in Mississippi runs through the warm months, and day-use areas set their own opening dates. Freshwater advisories are issued locally, so check the state health department before you swim.
