Nestled in the tranquil surroundings of Marathon, Wisconsin, the Spring Lake Campground offers a serene retreat for water resource and climate enthusiasts. This private campground is regulated by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, ensuring that it meets strict standards for permitting, inspection, and enforcement. The campground's primary purpose is recreation, with the picturesque Spring Lake serving as a stunning backdrop for a variety of outdoor activities.
The Earth dam at Spring Lake, completed in 1974, stands at a height of 27 feet and spans a length of 2420 feet, creating a reservoir with a storage capacity of 174 acre-feet. The dam's spillway is uncontrolled, with a maximum discharge of 8 cubic feet per second. Despite being classified as low hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment in 2017 revealed unsatisfactory results, prompting the need for ongoing risk management measures.
Visitors to Spring Lake Campground can enjoy 18 acres of surface area, perfect for fishing, boating, and wildlife observation. While the campground's risk assessment indicates a moderate level of risk, the tranquil surroundings and recreational opportunities make it a must-visit destination for those seeking a peaceful getaway in the heart of Wisconsin's natural beauty.
