About Big Acres
Nestled along the tranquil shores of Sardis Lake's Lower Lake, Big Acres welcomes families and groups to experience one of the area's most beloved day-use destinations. With spacious picnic shelters overlooking the water, a sprawling playground that echoes with children's laughter, and basketball courts for friendly competition, this scenic spot below Sardis Dam has become a cherished gathering place for lakeside recreation and memorable family outings.
Big Acres is described as a day-use area at Sardis Lake rather than a campground. The facility provides day-use amenities (group picnic shelters, playground, basketball court) and is located on the shore of the Lower Lake.
Natural Features and SceneryThe 400-acre Lower Lake spreads out before Big Acres like a shimmering canvas, its waters lapping gently against the shoreline just downstream from the impressive Sardis Dam. This peaceful setting combines the best of lakeside leisure with accessible recreation—where families can spread blankets along the water's edge, watch boats glide across the surface, and soak in the natural beauty that makes this corner of Sardis Lake so special. The gentle terrain and open spaces create an inviting atmosphere perfect for lazy afternoon picnics, sunset gatherings, and those spontaneous moments of outdoor joy that bring people back season after season.
