Willow Springs Lake

We’ve been to this lake many times- to the front side and back sides. Always a good time. No motor boats allowed. We’ve kayaked, swam, cliff jumped, fished and sailed on this lake. The kids generally find cast off hooks and line to catch fish with and will catch many while there. It is a busy lake on weekends but if you drive around, you should be able to find a spot. There is one place to cliff jump but the lake is so low right now you’d really have to be careful and check the bottom to find a spot to safely jump.

This is a beautiful area to hike. 8 miles around the lake. A lot of boulders on some parts easier hiking on others. But beautiful scenery wherever you look. Lots of birds and fishing going on. The trail is not well marked. You just follow the lake. But once you are committed it is a long hike. It will take most of the day if you are stopping to gaze at the scenery, taking pictures or snacking on a lunch. Take plenty of water. You will not be disappointed in the views. A day well spent with a friend, by yourself or with a furry companion.

Beautiful scenery.. the lake itself however is not well taken care of. We stayed in the same spot and found 5 different fish hooks. One if which was stepped on and stuck to the foot of a little boy. If you’re going during busy season or a weekend good luck finding somewhere to park.

This place was busy on the weekend. So I would recommend you get there early. Cool lake with great views and people watching. It's definitely not an easy spot to fish with the number of kids, paddle boards, and kayaks along the shore messing around. The water is clear and seems fairly clean. #opulence check em out.

By far this peaceful beautiful space is my favorite spot for a quick fish trip whether on a boat or on the shoreline. There’s plenty of areas to park and would recommend to arrive around 8 or 9 to get a good spot. Need to try kayaking or paddle boarding here next time around.
