Approximately half of the lake frontage was obtained by Bear Creek Township in 1988 with Conservancy help. A grant obtained by the Township and Conservancy in 1995 enabled the Township to purchase the remaining half of Spring Lake frontage on M-119. Aided by a donation of a quarter of the property s appraised value from the property owners, the acquisition was completed using monies from special set-asides for transportation enhancement projects through a federal highway program. With the additional land obtained, the park now includes all of the lake frontage on M-119. The Township has received another grant to help develop parking areas, restrooms and a unique interpretive trail through wetlands on the park property.
Picnic tables are also available for use on the site.
