Tchula Lake

Tchula Lake is a creek in the U.S. state of Mississippi. Despite its name, Tchula Lake is classified by the GNIS as a stream rather than a lake.[1] It is a tributary to the Yazoo River.

Tchula is a name derived from the Choctaw language purported to mean "fox".[2] Variant names are "Little River" and "Tchula River".[1]
