Spring Lake Regional Park

Spring Lake Regional Park is a 320-acre natural area with woodlands, wetlands, and meadows built around a large lake in Sonoma County. The grounds include multiple trails for hiking, designated picnic zones with barbecue facilities, and a swimming area that operates seasonally.

The land was originally farmland before Sonoma County Regional Parks transformed it into a recreational area in the mid-twentieth century. This conversion preserved the natural landscape while making it accessible to the public for outdoor enjoyment.

The Environmental Discovery Center inside offers learning programs about native animals and rock formations year-round. Visitors can explore these topics at their own pace while walking through the grounds.

The park is best visited during dry weather, and the trails accommodate different fitness levels. The swimming area opens only during warmer months, so plan your visit based on the season.

The park features an 18-station fitness circuit spread along the trails where visitors can do exercise routines. Demonstration signs at each location show how to perform the movements.
