Thanks. Years ago I fished Sardis and know it has some but can't remember what part of the lake it was on.

Lots of cypress lots of buck brush at higher water levels some dead timber but mostly submerged

Of the big four Butla was the last built. All timber was cut before flooding. In younger years when water was low you could see stumps. Silt has covered the stumps over the years.
Silt in is a problem on the big 4, none will hold the volume of water as they use too.

This is not true, out of the 4 lakes Grenada was the last one to be in use, opened in January 1954. Enid was completed in December of 1952, Sardis around 1940, can't find an exact date on when Arkabutla was completed in 1943.

that info is in the remodeled visitor center at Grenada Dam

Looks like they were holding some water in 1942
