Grenada Lake
If you fish crappie, you have to visit Grenada Lake. This world-renowned destination is a must-see for seasoned and beginner fishermen alike. Rent a boat, buy some bait, fill your cooler, and head out on the lake with friends and family to reel in crappie all afternoon. In addition to crappie fishing, you’ll find bream, catfish, and white bass within Grenada Lake’s waters. Local fishing guides can help you navigate the lake, showing you the best secret spots for fishing. Not into fishing? Rent jet skis or kayaks and get out on the water, hang out on the porch of one of the amazing Grenada lake cabins, or tour the area around the lake on a bicycle. Opportunities for fun are endless in our little corner of the world.
