Spring Lake Recreation Area, Recreation area in Arkansas, United States.

Spring Lake Recreation Area is a 82-acre outdoor space featuring swimming, fishing, camping, and picnicking opportunities. The site contains 13 family campsites and 19 picnic units arranged throughout the grounds.

Spring Lake Recreation Area was built in 1937 with Works Progress Administration funds in the Magazine Ranger District of the Ozark-St. Francis National Forest. Its native stone and log structures follow Civilian Conservation Corps rustic style, including picnic pavilions, a bathhouse, swimming platforms, the Spring Lake Bridge and the dam impounding Spring Creek. The area was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995 as a historic district.

The name comes from Spring Creek, which the dam impounds at the lake's southern end. The picnic pavilions, bathhouse and swimming platforms were built in the rustic native stone and log style associated with the Civilian Conservation Corps, using Works Progress Administration funds. Visitors can still picnic and swim around these 1930s structures.

The facility operates seasonally from Memorial Day through Labor Day weekend and uses the Recreation.gov app for entrance payments. Advance reservations are recommended since sites fill up quickly during the operating season.

Each campsite comes equipped with a picnic table, tent pad, fire ring, and lantern pole for convenient camping. The location near Mount Magazine State Park provides easy access to additional outdoor exploration opportunities.
