Lake Nichols
Pavo
Plantation Trace
Lake Nichols is located 17 miles northwest of Quitman and open to the public for fishing & kayaking March 1- October 31
The dam to form the lake was completed in the 1800's. It was first called Adams's Mill Pond and later owned by someone named Melton. Since 1944 the lake has been owned by the Nichols family.
In the 1950's the dam broke. While the water was down it was cleared out, refilled and used for water skiing. Later, they created some catfish ponds and raised catfish. This continued for a few years until the plant buying the catfish flopped. It finally ending up in its present state as a lake for fishing and duck hunting. No longer used for raising catfish the old catfish ponds are great for bank fishing and are accessible by boat from the main lake, too.
