Spring Lake features a fresh-water lagoon for recreational swimming in the summer. The lagoon features a sandy beach, lawns shaded by redwoods and picnic sites.

Swimming

The Spring Lake swimming lagoon provides room for free swim and lap swims in an open-water setting staffed with lifeguards. The lagoon is open 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily through Labor Day and weekends only from 10 a.m. to sunset in September. The lagoon is filtered, chlorinated and tested regularly to ensure it exceeds water-quality standards. Admission is free. Free life vests are available for loan at the rental office next to the lagoon. 

The Water Park

The Spring Lake swimming lagoon is home to a seasonal, inflatable water park with floating slides, climbing walls, bridges, balance beams, jumps, and trampolines.

Water Bark Dog Swim

The Spring Lake swimming lagoon each fall hosts a multi-weekend off-leash dog party known as the Water Bark. Upon the close of the summer swim season, dog owners are invited to let their pets swim and play in the lagoon before it is drained for the year. The 2021 Water Bark is Oct. 2-3, Oct. 9-10 and Oct. 16-17.
