Constructed in 1937 with Works Progress Administration (WPA) funds, Spring Lake's rustic native stone and log Civilian Conservation Corp style structures include two picnic pavilions and developed picnic sites, a bathhouse, two swimming platforms, the Spring Lake Bridge, walkways, stone walls, and the lake's dam, which impounds Spring Creek at the lake's southern end.[2] The recreation area also includes 13 campsites. The area was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995 as the Spring Lake Recreation Area Historic District.[1]
