Lake Lamar Bruce is a 300-acre impoundment located 1.5 miles northeast of Saltillo, Mississippi off U.S. 45. The lake features a public concrete boat ramp with courtesy piers for access. A thick forest surrounds the shoreline, creating an attractive natural setting, though some homes are visible along parts of the shoreline.

The lake operates under No Wake regulations most of the time, with water skiing allowed only on Thursdays, Sundays, Memorial Day, July 4th, and Labor Day from noon to sunset. Personal flotation devices (PFDs) are required for all boaters. The lake's protected status and limited skiing schedule helps maintain calm conditions suitable for paddling.

Amenities include restrooms with showers, picnic areas with grills, and a pavilion. Five handicap-accessible fishing piers and six earthen piers are positioned around the lake. For overnight trips, the lake offers 11 developed camping sites with electrical/water hookups as well as primitive camping options.

Wildlife viewing opportunities include various fish species and waterfowl. The lake is stocked with largemouth bass, carp, redear sunfish, bluegill, crappie, and channel catfish. The surrounding forest provides habitat for songbirds and other wildlife.

The lake's geography includes several points and coves, with fish attractors placed at five marked locations throughout the lake. The lake reaches a maximum depth of 31 feet. Recent renovations included the construction of two new levees and the addition of a smaller pond adjacent to the main lake.
