Lake Description & Overview
Spear Lake is located on the Western boundary of the District. Not much is known about the lake due to its small size and lack of surface connection to other District waters. The shoreline is undeveloped except one parcel on the North end of the lake. The rest of the lake has a healthy natural buffer around the shoreline. No public accesses are present on the lake. The District will assess the health of the lake as part of the 2020-2030 Monitoring Plan.
