"Spring Lake" is named for the fountains of crystal clear water which emanates from a multi- tude of underground springs. Paths, shady nooks, and rock gardens extend through the weeping willow lined shores of the lake and provide a peaceful spot for a quiet evening walk. Shoppers also have a reason to enjoy Spring Lake. The town is noted for more than sixty fine shops and boutiques. A variety of gourmet restaurants are here to tempt your appetite. Everything from home-cooked meal in a quiet atmosphere to continental cuisine in elegant surroundings is available. Entertainment may include a band concert at the Gazebo, or an evening of theatre at the Community House.
