About Grenada Lake
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers built Grenada Lake by damming the Yalobusha River, completing the reservoir in 1954 as part of a flood-control system for the Yazoo River basin authorized after the Mississippi River floods of the 1920s and 1930s. The dam sits near the city of Grenada, Mississippi, roughly sixty miles south of Tupelo. Filling the basin required relocating roads, cemeteries, and farmland across Grenada, Yalobusha, and Montgomery counties.
At full pool the lake covers about 26,558 acres with roughly 75 miles of shoreline, making it one of the largest lakes in Mississippi. It has long drawn anglers for crappie fishing, with tournaments bringing competitors from across the South to weigh in at ramps around the lake. Most of the shoreline is public land managed by the Corps, with campgrounds, hunting areas, and small marinas rather than dense residential development, and the towns nearby remain small and rural.

Grenada Lake depth chart, in wood
This is a Grenada Lake depth chart you can hang: 6 stacked layers of birch, each one a depth contour — 48 ft, 96 ft, 144 ft, 192 ft, 240 ft and deeper, down to the deepest hole at about 288 ft. The lake covers about 42.6 square miles, and 444 shore roads are engraved around it. The shape of the bottom is the real one from published soundings, so anglers recognise their drop-offs and points.
A Grenada Lake map for the wall — or a gift
Most of these go to a cabin wall, a lake house entry, or a home office; a lot are gifts — the family that has been on Grenada Lake for three generations, the retirement move, the first boat. The 12-inch is the desk-and-shelf size; the 24- and 30-inch boards read across a room. Add a line under the title and star your place on the shore, and it becomes the map of your Grenada Lake.
Grenada Lake map — the details
How big is the map?
Four sizes: 12, 17, 24 and 30 inches on the long side, from $149. Every size is cut from the same depth data of Grenada Lake; the bigger boards carry more shoreline roads and place names.
Is it made from real depth data?
Yes. Grenada Lake is cut layer by layer from published bathymetric soundings — each layer of birch is a depth contour, so the shape of the bottom is the real one, not decorative.
Can I add my own place on it?
Yes. At checkout you can add a line under the title (a family name, a cabin name, a year) and star the spot on the shore that matters to you.
How long does it take?
Made to order in Waterford, Pennsylvania and shipped in 7–10 days; shipping is free in the lower 48.
Can you make a lake that isn't listed?
Any lake in the United States — we hold depth data for 104,419 of them. Search for yours; if it isn't built yet we build it when you order.
