Aquarena Springs / Spring Lake

★★★★☆ (7,867)

The Meadows Center for Water and the Environment, formerly known as Aquarena Springs, has been a local favorite for outdoor and water recreation. Due to protected and endangered species, water access is limited to those in scuba classes or volunteer divers who have completed the Center’s Volunteer Diving Program.

Wildlife is often abundant in Spring Lake, and divers will typically see turtles, bass, gar and other freshwater species.
