Lake Mike Conner is a 79-acre lake located in Covington County, Mississippi, 5 miles west of Collins off Highway 84. Constructed in 1957 and renovated in 1989, this modest-sized lake features water depths ranging from 3-6 feet in much of the lake, with some areas reaching 15-20 feet near the levee.

The lake is primarily managed for fishing, with numerous fish attractors and brush piles placed throughout to improve fish habitat. These structures are important for paddlers to note, particularly in the shallow 3-6 foot depths where they may affect navigation. A fishing pier provides a stable structure for paddlers to be aware of.

Facilities include basic amenities, with 15 camping pads offering 30-amp electrical hookups and water access. A dump station is available on-site. The lake maintains relatively stable conditions, with regional temperatures typically ranging from the 40s in winter to the 90s in summer.

Lake Mike Conner is managed by the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks, and requires daily or annual permits for access. While primarily known for fishing, particularly for bream and largemouth bass, the lake offers a flat-water paddling environment with a mix of open water and structured areas.

The surrounding terrain is characterized by flat topography with a mix of trees and open spaces. For paddlers interested in planning multi-day trips, the first-come, first-served campground provides overnight options, though advance contact with the lake office at (601) 765-4024 is recommended for current information and regulations.
