About Bay Springs Lake

Bay Springs Lake is a 6,073-acre reservoir in Mississippi.

We have not matched Bay Springs Lake to a public level gauge, so the water level on this page comes from NASA's SWOT satellite, which measures the lake surface from orbit on each pass. Wind, gusts and rain come from the National Weather Service forecast grid that covers the water.

It is big enough for a proper sail but small enough that waves rarely get serious. Gusts off the shoreline are usually the bigger story than wave height.

The go or no-go calls above are a starting point, not a guarantee. Read how we score conditions, and always check local rules and posted warnings before you launch.
