From the barrier islands to the numerous lakes, rivers and creeks that fill the state, Mississippians are lucky enough to have access to some beautiful, sparkling bodies of water. When it comes to the bluest water in the state, Pickwick Lake and Blue Springs are usually the first places that come to mind, but there’s another great spot that shouldn’t be ignored – Sardis Lake. Part of a 98,000-acre recreation area, the lake’s magnificent blue waters are easy to access and completely unforgettable.
