Spring Meadow Lake State Park

Spring Meadow Lake State Park is a public recreation area covering 61 acres (25 ha) just west of Helena, Montana. Once the site of a gravel pit and factory, the state park centers around a man-made, spring-fed lake,[5] which is used for swimming, fishing, non-motorized boating, and scuba diving.[6] The park also offers picnicking, a mile-long trail around the lake, and ice fishing and ice skating in winter.[7] Largemouth bass, westslope cutthroat trout, yellow perch, and pumpkinseed are the main catches.[8] A fishing pier was added to 30-acre (12 ha) lake in 2011.[9]
