Elevation292 ft above sea level

Natural Features and SceneryEnid Lake formed when the Army Corps of Engineers dammed the Yocona River, creating a sprawling reservoir surrounded by 44,000 acres of northeast Mississippi forest. The campground sits at 292 feet elevation along the lake's edge, where rolling hills meet open water. Wildlife sightings include deer, eagles, and a variety of songbirds. Many sites offer lake views, though younger trees and vegetation sometimes block sightlines to the water. The Yocona dam creates dramatic spillway displays during water releases.
