Sardis was built as a flood control facility in the 1930s, and recreation was not mentioned in the original plans. Soon after the Dam’s construction, however, visitation skyrocketed. Today, recreation management is a priority right alongside flood risk management and environmental stewardship. The employees of Sardis Lake take great pride in building and maintaining some of the top recreation facilities in the country.
Whether planning a one-day outing or an extended camping trip, you can find a wealth of activities to fill your days and nights. Come camp in one of our modern campgrounds, picnic, swim, rent a pavilion for a family reunion, or find a spot somewhere on our 98,000 acres to boat, hunt, fish, go birding, or walk a trail. It’s your lake, come and enjoy the natural beauty of Sardis Lake.
