Spring Lake is a tranquil paddling getaway. On a hot summer’s day, there is often barely a ripple on the water. While you’re paddling along picturesque coves and sandy inlets, Spring Lake will take you to the heart of nature, despite its close proximity to the city. You can paddle along the shore, while keeping a lookout for the diverse wildlife in the area, including river otter, deer, bobcats, turtles, beaver and many bird species that call Spring Lake home.

Spring Lake is a small 72 surface acre lake perfect for novice kayakers. It lies within Spring Lake Regional Park, a 320-acre public park, in southeastern Santa Rosa. It is one of Sonoma County’s most-visited parks. The park also has a spring-fed swimming lagoon and campground.
