Due to the extreme heat over the next two days, Fellows Lake Store will be limiting rentals. Please call ahead if you plan to come out and rent a paddle craft.

There’s a lot more to Fellows Lake than meets the eye.

Since 1955, this 860-acre reservoir has supplied Springfield with drinking water and become a go-to spot for outdoor fun. Today, it’s not only a water source but also a community hub for fishing, boating, hiking more. Every visit supports both your well-being and Springfield’s future.

🐾 Keep pets on a leash and clean up after them
