Grenada is a friendly, small lakeside city built around the 36,000‑acre Grenada Lake — great for boating, beaches, hiking and renowned crappie and bass fishing — so multi‑week stays feel like an outdoorsy, relaxed getaway with a compact downtown and local events rather than being stuck in a dull nowhere town.
You’re also within easy driving distance of Greenwood (about 33 miles) for a livelier dining/festival scene and Oxford (about 50 miles) — a classic college town with bars, live music and cultural events — so you can quickly tap into bigger-city options when you want more to do.
