Overview
Natural Features
Lake Greeson is about 12 miles long with over 7,260 surface acres of water fed by the clear cool waters of the Little Missouri River. Loblolly pine, shortleaf pine, sweet gum and oak are the dominate tree species on upland areas of the lake, while bottomland hardwoods are common along rivers, creeks and streams that enter the lake. The public lands around Lake Greeson provide a variety of habitats for numerous species of wildlife, including white-tailed deer, wild turkey, geese, bald eagles, migratory waterfowl, and songbirds.
Recreation
Lake Greeson is recognized for its rich variety of game fish, including large mouth, small mouth, stripped, spotted, and white bass, as well as flathead and channel catfish, black and white crappie, walleye, and blue gill. The clear waters offer an excellent opportunity for many boating activities including water skiing, tubing, personal watercraft, or just cruising. Four marinas at the lake offer boaters' fuel, boat and other watercraft rentals, picnic and fishing supplies.
