Snow Lake Shores is a town in Benton County, Mississippi, United States.

The first Anglo settlers in the area were John M. Ferrell and his wife, who moved from Tennessee to a site west of present-day Snow Lake Shores in 1839.

In 1947, New Yorker Walter Utley moved to neighboring Marshall County with plans to build a resort-style development in the area.

Around 1956, a partnership of three men – including Utley – organized to develop a residential subdivision that became known as Snow Lake Shores.

[1][7] Incorporation meant that the town would be eligible to receive grants for paving roads and installing a new water system.

[6] Eddie Koen was appointed as the first mayor of Snow Lake Shores along with five aldermen who served as the new town's governing body until municipal elections were held in October 1996.

Snow Lake Shores is served by the Benton County School District.
