Review & FAQ:

Lake Springfield Park is a beautiful natural area around Lake Springfield that offers an array of recreational and outdoor activities. There are two nature trails in the park, the Greenways Trail and the Greater Ozark Audubon Trails, both of which offer excellent wildlife and bird watching opportunities.

Visitors can enjoy fishing from the shoreline during park hours, and they can rent kayaks and canoes to explore the edges of the lake or the James River Linear Park Water Trail, which runs from Galloway Creek to Creighton Beach. Two beautiful pavilions, the Hilltop Pavilion and the Northwoods Pavilion, present lovely places to picnic and soak up the views.
